Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac's

[Brandon Nootenboom]

So I just wanted to throw this out to all ya out there, I got 31x10.50 15 Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac's on my stock 97 Ranger and they are the best tires I've ever had. Four of my friends have them too-245's on another newer Ranger, 315's on a Jeep, and 2 with 33's on an F150 and a Dodge 2500, they all love them too. They are more aggressive than BFGoodrich M/T's or A/T's, have a better warranty and are a quieter smoother ride. if you want an aggressive tire that still offers a good smooth ride, definitely check them out!

I run 2 sets of them on my 03 SuperDuty.

1 set for winter LT235/75r16 studded for winter time and LT275/70r18 for summer time.

Love em.

oh yea, i ran those in 31's for about a week. didnt like how they felt on my truck, so i went up to a 32 and got some kuhmo Mud tires. I really wasnt a fan of the way they handled water. they slid more then my contitrac's would for my application.

Hmmm were they siped? I haven't had any problem with wheel spin or handling with mine siped. Also coulda been too high of load range or pressure for the rig? I don't know too much about those Kumho's, only dealt with them twice at work.

i ran load C at 32 psi. I travel dirt roads regularly, and the duratracs hated oiled down roads. if they were wet, it was ice. I also found they didnt clear as well as i hoped. they work great on 4x4's but when your relying on 2wd, i needed something better. I found the kumho's for 800 installed, 32x11.50R15 LT load range c or E, dont remember. 18/32 tread new. Couldnt say no.

Dont get me wrong, the wranglers are good tires! just didnt do what i needed out of a tire.

I wouldn't have said no either then! Haha That's a really good price for those Kumhos, the one I installed at work was just over $500 for one a little bigger.. I just about had a heart attack haha.
