Big improvement in ride quality, very smooth. Handling takes a little to get used, noticed increase in sway lane changing at highway speeds, rubber durometer appears lower (softer). Good trade-off for better ride quality. No issue maintaining control of vehicle, it's just different. Definite improvement in traction, better power transfer, more spin resistance during hard acceleration. According to the manufacturing code, these tires appear to be made in the USA.

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!!!

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.

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 have owned 4WD trucks and Jeeps since the late 70's. The new Duratrac RT's are the best tire I've ever run. I put a set on my Jeep. They are just as quiet as the stock all season tires. Ride is excellent, especially for Load Range E tires. Wet and dry weather traction is great. Awesome tires,

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.

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!!!

Changed out my 55L mile original factory duratracs with the RT LT new ones. I had great success with the original duratracs - awesome traction for CT weather and ski mountains of new england. Wet traction was great, snow was not a challenge when paired up on my trail boss. The Difference with the new tires is nothing short of amazing however. Worn out duratracs were crazy loud after their expected life. The new RT LT's are heavier and they feel it. Pretty much silent compared to my worn out duratracs which were almost unbearable at certain speeds 40-60mph. Ride is very smooth. turning is easier and noticeable. But the best part is my truck is back to being very quiet inside the cabin like when i bought it new. big noise reduction for me. I also choose these over competitors incl bfg which i've had before and were good but much prefer the duratrac. I picked the RT / LT because i tow and felt it was better than the standard load capacity .

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.
