Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac All-Terrain/Off-Road Winter Tire Review | My RAM 1500 Snow Tire Choice 👍

Today I'm talking about the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac All-Terrain Tire and my experience with them on my RAM 1500 off-road in the winter on snow and ice. I think they are a fantastic choice of tire for anybody who lives in a climate where a few months of the year there will be snow on the ground.
In the summer the DuraTracs provide a good bite in mud and gravel and will be able to handle a lot of off-road situations. they are obviously not a dedicated mud tire of desert runner tire so there are going to be better options if you seriously plan on going off-road. But for the average off-road enthusiast these tires will provide a lot of grip in any situations.
But where these tires shine is in the winter. The Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs are highly rated for winter use for both snow and ice. firstly because of the many sipes on all the tire lugs providing lots of additional traction on slippery roads. Also because of the Tractive Technology center tread pattern, providing an aggressively angular tread pattern aiding in displacing snow and providing additional traction in slippery conditions. therefore allowing these tires to be winter rated and have the winter rated Snowflake letting people know they are winter safe.
Lastly, dedicated winter tires will provide more traction on packed snow and ice because of the much smaller lug patterns and many more sipes. as well as having a different rubber compound designed specifically for cold weather performance. But, In deep snow dedicated winter tires tend not to fare as well as the DuraTracs because of the smaller tread pattern not being as efficient to move the deep snow. Whereas the DuraTracs have a larger lug pattern providing excellent deep snow performance while still providing good packed snow and ice traction.
It all comes down to what you need and what weather conditions you plan on driving in. If you are like me and enjoy the odd off-roading in the summer and still want to have great traction in all winter conditions these Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs are a great tire.
Hope you guys liked the video! if you have any questions please feel free to ask!
Happy New Years!

If you live at a place where one day it's sunny, next day there is a 10inch snowfall, the week after the grader passes and leaves rocks the size of baseballs into the road, next day the rain turns the road into a mudslide the Duratracs are the tires you need. Get the LT 10 ply ones. The guy at the shop wanted to sell me Nokians, first model was too agressive second one the spacing between the blocks were too narrow. I didn't want a tire that maybe was going to be out of production. I insisted on Duratracs. They are not too noisy. Didn't notice much MPG difference. In the rain water gets cleared away, unlike the Ko2's. Also I like that they are not directionnal. I can switch them sides. On packed glare ice they' re slippery. So watch your distance. They can be studded.

They are almost like the truest version of an "all-terrain" tire. Not going to be the absolute best tire in any situation but never going to let you down in any situation either. and it is pretty awesome that they can be studded if you do happen to drive on a lot of packed snow/icy roads.

What all-terrain tire did you look at that was directional?

@toasteroverdrive1097 3 жыл бұрын

@@Icutmetal My mistake, I was comparing them to the pos Toyo gsi-5 that I got in a hurry for winter, which are not LT rated. Not bad tire in snow and ice but because I live in the sticks when the roads melt and turn to dirt again thats when shtf. 3 punctures in 7 months of use. And with Covid and the tire shops closed I did not find it funny last spring. Too bad no manufacturer seems to make an ice tire LT rated. Since I havent heard back from Toyo, i'm just gonna leave this comment rigth here. Cheers!

I'm buying some today or tomorrow. Why 10 ply what are the benefits?

@toasteroverdrive1097 2 жыл бұрын

@@richardmcfadden3980 A regular tire is usually 4 ply and puncture easely with small pebbles or rocks. If it says LT before the size it means it's a ligth truck tire, usually 6 ply or more. The construction is beefier and can handle more weigth, like if you tow or have a camper. If you have a jeep or a pickup truck and plan to drive thru dirt and logging roads, having heavier duty tires is a good investment for safety. With the NON LT tires when I purchased my truck I had 4 punctures in 6 months and now with the duratracs sometimes i go over rocks and think the tire ligth will come on but no,it never did. Only thing to watch out is when its real cold and it's icy outside you need to slow down and keep your distance.

I had the the wrangler adventure with kevlar before I got the duratrac and the were great tires. They weren't nearly as good off-road or in snow, but they were durable. I took the off when they had about 80k on them. They still have a little tread left too. I got the Lt tires too instead of the p(passenger). Those extra plys make a difference. Went to the duratracs afterwards for winter and I'm sold on them. Yeah they cost more , but I think they're worth it and they're made in the USA too.

I’ve owned both K02 and Dura tracks. The fact is that the K02 has deeper sites that last much longer. The Dura tracks have shallow sipes that will become useless far more quickly. The Keio twos also have a softer side wall and provide a better and more compliant ride. The Dura tracks have A more aggressive lug on the outside of the running surface that make them better for rock and mud. Strictly as a winter tire, and then every day tire the K0 twos are better. I’m purchasing my second pair of Wrangler Dura tracks for my jeep gladiator because I will be doing more off-road.

I put snows on this year because I know I can get another full spring/summer/fall out of these but they won't be very useful this winter. Just not soft enough when the tread is half height unfortunately. Still very quiet and rotated 3 times so far, great tire, will purchase another set summer or fall 2023.

@superpater1 3 жыл бұрын

Duratracs are probably my favorite all terrains. Also if your box is that packed full of snow I would just keep it in the truck unless you park in a garage cause it adds a bit of weight in the box which gives you a bit more traction on the rear end which in these 4th gen rams is the main weakness in winter cause the back end is so light thats where a lot of slipping tends to happen. However I run full on winter tires on my 4th gen and they do pretty damn good even with an empty box but they do still encounter slipping and spinning on ice. Honestly though if I didn't have winter tires I'd probably have duratracs

@TheGettyAdventures 3 жыл бұрын

100% would of kept the snow in my box but I was heading back on the highway and just wanted to make sure I didn't spray anybody with snow lol And yes they are super light rear ends especially with the coil suspension. Almost feel like they considered ride quality over truck performance but it is what it is. Would of much preferred a leaf spring set up. regardless I do enjoy the Duratracs but the dedicated snow tires will have a better bite on ice and packed snow.

@Mauser1965 7 ай бұрын

Appreciate the coverage. Yet it appears you have a 65 profile tire and I'm curious as to the ability to lower the tire pressure. I'm considering 235/85R16's for a larger diameter while keeping the weight lower, and being able to lower tire pressure. This will allow me to use my stock wheels on my '87 Pioneer. One element that effects tire wear is tire load rating as well. I was originally considering the KO2's due to reviews in forums. General Grabber AT2's were selected as they were lighter than the BFG to which had one more side wall layer. For snow siping helps retain snow/ice in regards that those elements stick together which provides traction. As does smaller treat blocks that the BFG/GG's provide. Mud is opposite, as a tire is less effective when the tread gets plugged with mud, thus needs to be cleared. Keep in mind that a RAM 1500 (4,765 to 6,440 weight) compared to a '87 Cherokee (3,357 weight) is going to make a big difference as we consider tire load rating. Higher rating is heavier, which also provides a higher load capacity which is needed for a plow and sanding and is more than likely not a 1500 series truck. Another example is my friend wanted to get cheap tires and I told him that he needs to keep that load rating in mind as he wanted to load a tote in the back to haul salmon, and that not just any tire will do as it will be loaded down. You do not match that load to load rating and it will get ugly real fast. Higher load rating and the tire side wall will also be stiffer, something to consider when airing down while off road. I was considering the DuraTrac, but for my use the BFG/GG's will suffice. If I hit more mud I'd for sure go DuraTrac. I was even considering the BFG Commercial Traction tires but their discontinued. These are just my thoughts, and once again it was good to see another snow review on these tires. 😁✌

My 2019 Chevy Colorado LT ( V6 4x4) had Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude all seasons from the factory. The factory tires were terrible all seasons for winter use and I really liked the look of the DuraTrac on the ZR2's. So I ended up getting a set of DuraTracs after doing some research on them for road noise and winter use applications because I live in Canada. Given these are my first set of All Terrain tires so I can't give a comparison to other brands. Traction review - I've had the DuraTracs in sand, snow/ice, and some mud but nothing to serious like deep mud. In the sand they performed great and I was able to get out of most situations without having to engage 4x4 which I find is a bonus (I always like a challenge to keep 4x4 as a last resort). In the snow I've found they are a good choice but on the ice not so much, most likely due to the sipes being limited from the knob spacing but most tires in general don't do well on ice so I can't say this is a con (using 4x4 does help though). Road use review - For road noise I was concerned about this before purchasing the DuraTracs.. The road noise isn't bad, the tires don't drowned out the radio/music or the traffic/ambient sounds. They are louder than a standard highway tire which is to be expected, I find at 40km/hr (25mph) you start to hear the tires and at 120-130km/hr (74-80mph) it gets really loud. I did notice a loss in MPG but it was like only 2 MPG difference which I find is negligible. I don't know how long these tires will last as they are my first set owned.. All in these tires are a great choice for an All Terrain tire and I know I will probably have a really hard choice to replace them with the same set or to try another brand when the tread life is worn out.

Has anyone run these Duratracs without the snowflake rating in the snow? They came stock on my truck and have the M+S rating for mud and snow, but don't have the snowflake. I have the siping and same pattern so I think it's likely just a difference in the rubber compound and how soft it is when it's cold. Would prefer not to get another set of tires if I don't need to. It doesn't snow hardly at all in town where I live, but I do drive to the mountain at least once a week in the winter for snowboarding. Thanks.

Need to drag your brake alittle ,helps keep your fronts engaged (its like a poor mans locker) ive been doing this for years with my offroaders.i have run these 10+ years on a multitude of rigs from a jeep xj ,ranger and a crew cab ford.they work flawlessly but better aired down in the deep loose snow.

After you had to dig yourself out of the 3" of snow in your other video, you ran down to the tire shop and bought these duratracs. Good choice though. One thing you did not mention is the snow rating on these tires with the mountain snow flake, gets you out of carrying or using chains on some highways. They are a traction device, as is your 4x4 system. When chains or traction devices are required in some states like Oregon, these fall into that category.

I did hot shots for 4 years and I bought me a set of the dura trac tires (10 ply) to try out cause they where only $1200 at the time, on sale. The best tire I’ve ever bought. And I was getting a 100,000+ miles a year out of the tires before I had to replace them. Great tire for all trucks. Better then most of the more expensive tires. I got very low noise even when the tread got to 2/32

really eh no noise issues? everyone talks about them being noisy. when I first put them on you could tell they were a little louder but that's it. and ya man I really like them. great bite in snow and won't let you down in any situation really.

Once a truck's front bumper starts bull dozing significant snow that truck will come to a halt regardless of tires. I was surprized your truck struggled as much as it did. My 2005 Tundra with Cooper ST MAXX, which is a MT/AT hybred, pulls easily through snow of any depth until it is over the bumper and belly is dragging. Traction is fantastic. I am on my third set and they give me no reason to switch.

I have Duratracs on my Ram Rebel. 31K miles and they are shot. Started to get very noisy at 20K miles. I rotated them every 5K miles and still shot. Need new tires now Looking at the Falken WP AT3 W or Cooper Discover AT3 XLT 290/70R18. So difficult to decide.

@TheGettyAdventures 2 жыл бұрын

Those come standard on the rebels correct? I don't know if I got lucky but I put like close to 40k miles on my first pair and they were great no noise and I even pulled a trailer across the country, still had great tread left. Ended up getting the tires warrantied for brand new ones because they put the wrong size tires on in the first place but ya I've enjoyed them. I've heard good things about both those tires so I'm you'll be in good hands either way!

The duratracks ride much harder on the road then the coopers. Hope this helps

I was disappointed with the deep snow performance of the Duratract and when they started to wear the grip pretty much wasn't there. When it was time to replace them I went with another brand. Michigan driver in a 4x4 pickup so I had lots of opportunity to drive in all kinds of snow. They were great for trails in 3 out of the 4 seasons and decent on the dunes, I just didn't like them for snow.

Always ran them on my F150 work truck but could never get them balanced at all speeds. Switched to the lesser version which is better for more Hwy driving but they honestly suck in snow and can’t compare to the Duratrack. Only switched cause I had two tires that cupped and couldn’t get the duratracks at the time due to stock shortages. But as always balancing was a serious issue. Usually at 110 to 140km/hr they shook the cab so bad. In my line of work we drive at all speeds even up to 210km/hr at times. But average Hwy speed is 110km/hr and after several sets, could never get them to run smooth without rattling my teeth out and my poor kidneys!

@TheGettyAdventures 3 жыл бұрын

interesting because my set vibrate at speed as well. not as bad as what you are describing but they do shake a little at highway speeds. I'm curious about the noise people complain about. did your sets ever get super noisy? mine are currently pretty quiet.
