As title says, first time purchasing Goodyear tires. Had these in LT 285/70/17 load range E installed on my 2012 Fj Cruiser on 11/30/2023. Was hesitant to put '10 ply' tires on it but ride is only slightly stiffer. They handle great and for as aggressive as the tread pattern is they are super quiet!! Which is very important to me. Was pouring down rain when I got them installed and next day also, all I can say is no problems handling downpours. Very smooth and comfortable ride on a four hour ride on the interstate. I only hope that Goodyear has solved the noise issue they had with the original Duratrac as they wore down. The tires look great on my Fj Cruiser. So as a first time buyer of Goodyear tires I am keeping my fingers crossed on this purchase. Hopefully they don't disappoint!! Great job so far!!!

Factory tires made it to 25k. Hoping to get 40-50k out of these. Can definitely feel the weight difference as I'm guessing these weigh about 8-10lbs more per tire, fuel mileage went from 19 to 17.5 but it's also winter gasoline so it may creep back up in the springtime. But can barely hear these on the interstate at 80mph so anyone hesitant due to road noise, it's negligible.

These tires ride very well and carry the aggressive treat design. I tried out the Cooper Rugged Trek which I had them swap to this tire since those could not handle well on my truck. Night and day difference for even the smallest road bumps. Handles extremely well, no noise at all that I can tell either. I can already tell a difference within the 1st 50 miles. Great tires that you will never regret getting! Can't wait to see how well they will do in snow and wet conditions.

Rides very smooth, comfortable and surprised how quiet it is. Compound is excellent. Mines purchased are MADE IN THE U.S.A. Thread depth is excellent as well 18/32. From 09-current 2024 LT RT is the new gold standard for goodyear off-road tires. SECOND THING THAT IS SOLID is DUPONT Kevlar it shines in the tires it's an example to rough and tuff and can take the long way home off the beating path. These will not disappoint and I'm very happy with my purchase. I wouldn't be writing a review if these where subpar.

Had 3 sets of duratracs. First set of duratrac RT. If my main need was low speed off road, snow, or rough terrain driving I think they would be fine tires. I do a lot of highway driving and they are unstable on the high way at speeds over 50 MPH. Truck doesn't hold a straight course. Almost floats over the road rather than gripping. Squirrelly on curves. Don't hold a course during rapid braking. Can definitely feel the grip during low speed braking. Did well on the gravel roads. Vehicle is a 1 ton GMC SRW. Original duratracs held the pavement well and were exceptional in snow. The new ones are not an improvement. I am returning them and getting different tires. Big let down.

I'm adding some observations of the LT version of these tires. Still love the quiet comfortable ride and great handling. Just had approximately 5 inches of snow here in East Tennessee, the only time I had to use 4 wheel drive was getting up my driveway which is VERY steep coming off the road up to my house. Driveway was frozen solid with snow on top of half inch of ice. Made it about halfway up in 2 wheel drive, stopped engaged 4wheel drive and never spun a tire getting up the rest of the driveway. Absolutely awesome!!!! Have never had tires grip like these do!!! Very slushy back roads and interstate highways not a problem at all!!! As a first time buyer of any Goodyear product I highly recommend these tires for anyone looking for a great all terrain tire!! I have the LT version and put the standard load version on my daughter's TRD PRO 4Runner with the same results for her!!! For now all I can say is job well done Goodyear!!!

I purchased these in 265/70/17 for my daughter's 4Runner since I was happy with the results of putting the "LT" version on my FJ. Same results so far, very quiet,smooth ride and great handling. Replaced Nitto G2's that were noisy from day one and continued to get worse. Total night and day difference in noise, ride and handling! Only my second Goodyear purchase in my life. My daughter even commented that her 4Runner is so much quieter and rides better!! Awesome on wet roads, should be great in the winter.

I've been running 31x10.5R15 Duratracs for years now, and the new RT look like the exact new tire id like to replace my current Duratracs as they are getting worn. Sadly, and quite frankly very baffling, the new RT doesn't come in a 15 inch size. How is that even possible? I was very excited to see the new tire and deflated when I saw I can't get it in size. I need the stronger sidewall and the 3pms rating. Wil I really have to go to another brand after all these years?!

I put the new style Duratracs on our 2011 Chevrolet 3500. The deep tread is impressive but has made the vehicle really squirrelly! Wow! So much so that in some corners or rougher roads the stability trak will kick the cruise off or slow the vehicle. I have tried three different tire pressures and don't remember the old Duratrac tires doing this. Other than that I ride has been good and I wish that I had ice to try the traction out on. I would guess that this would be excellent. This is a strange thing to say but I probably will need to wear them down a little before this problem goes away.

I purchased these tires despite the limited reviews and information available on them given they are relatively new to the market. So far they have exceeded my expectations and I like their look and performance over the original Duratrac tires they replaced on my truck. The sidewall was my only complaint on the original Duratrac tire as it was not as aggressive / and seemed to lack in durability when compared to competitors. Given the new more aggressive sidewall with Kevlar I'm more confident in how these will hold up. While the tread pattern remains relatively identical there are noticeably smaller gaps between in the traction area between the tread blocks when compared to my previous Duratracs. I think this will help reduce road noise many people experience as the tires age. Overall I have had great luck with Duratracs on my 3/4 ton truck with everything from highway driving, towing, and navigating gravel / dirt roads during Iowa winters.
