To summarize: The K03 is a slightly better on road tire. The Duratract RT is slightly better off road.

@comparethetire Ай бұрын

Yes, if you want to put it in a line.

@thejdshipley Ай бұрын

But the Duratrac RT does better on wet and snowy roads so, in adverse conditions it’s the better on road tire too.

wife's 23 4rnr has duratrack...and it is LOUD at anything below 45mph. She said keep them until they are worn. How's noise on the KO3's? My F250- has wranglers and do not like sandy loam in the pastures when towing tractor load. Looking to replace them. TY

Well noise factor is much better on the new KO3, especially compared to DuraTrac RT.

@BattleshipSailorBB63 25 күн бұрын

One thing not addressed which is a major concern, is increased highway tire noise as the tread wears. Mud Terrain tires are notoriously horrible for this, but how would you expect these 2 to fare?

@comparethetire 23 күн бұрын

Great point! Tire noise can definitely become an issue as tread wears down, especially with more aggressive patterns. Both the Goodyear DuraTrac RT and the BF Goodrich KO3 have designs aimed at reducing noise, but as they wear, you might still notice an increase. Mud Terrains are indeed notorious for this, so it's something to keep in mind!

@John_Redcorn_ Ай бұрын

We’ll just have to wait and see with the new KOs. They have always used a harder rubber/less silica which was why they sucked in the wet, especially as they got some age and wear on them.

So what about the anti-puncture ability of the new Duratrac RT, especially compared to KO2?

@comparethetire Ай бұрын

Yes its pretty durable, especially with sizes having DuraWall tech.

@egregiousblunder5395 Ай бұрын

Sidewall failures were a huge issue with the OG Duratrac's. I ended up taking them off my trucks that came with the from the factory and swapping them with a higher ply rating Wildpeak.

@John_Redcorn_ Ай бұрын

@@egregiousblunder5395the new Duratracs have the Kevlar sidewall ply that Goodyear uses on some of its other tires, so it shouldnt be an issue now.

@OverSkyline Ай бұрын

@@John_Redcorn_ it's interesting that there's no Kevlar marks on the side wall of this new Duratrac RT in AU market, which marks could be seen on the Duratrac RT in US market.

Goodyear DuraTrac is not a mud terrain tire. But I get what you're saying. A lot of folks were asking about this comparison actually...

@Vodafone16v Ай бұрын

The Duratrac is a great tire indeed. It's just that sidewall... is hideous looking. The KO2 and KO3 are great looking tires overall. They give any truck a "premium" look.

@comparethetire Ай бұрын

Well if you're looking for aggressive sidewalls, you may want to consider Mickey Thompson A/T.

I've had Duratracs on my last 3 trucks. Half ton.....I don't do E tires. Lite weight durable,I've never had a side puncture....but my offloading is mud,,sand and fields. Bit noisy on road,incredible traction in snow and ice till it wears down,then sucks. I resiped mine on 3rd winter.....huge difference. Mud....awesome. The rt has more siping.....winter traction will be even better. I stay stock size......275/60/20 The bfg doesn't appear to be available in that size......odd that the best selling half ton comes in that 20" size. I finally saw the rt's in person and pretty sure they r going on by winter.
