What do owners say about the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac's off-road traction?
Of the 14 owner reviews analyzed for the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac, 9 mention off-road traction: 7 praise it (strong off-road traction) and 2 criticise it (weak off-road traction). One owner wrote: "It grabs the dirt like a dedicated mud tire". Read those reviews
The Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac is most often praised for off-road ability, snow traction and tread life. Seven of 14 owners discussing specific aspects praise off-road traction and six longevity, but half criticise road noise. Around one in five describe noise increasing with age, and the same share mention uneven wear. Wet grip also attracts more criticism than praise, with three complaints against one favorable account. Longer-use reviews therefore support useful life but also a recurring noise compromise, while the small sample does not establish reliable ice performance.

These get very loud and lose some snow traction as they age, as the siping is not full depth. They also wear weird despite rotating every 5k. I've had better luck in other sizes and lighter vehicles with less power.

2000 Silverado 1500 trailboss OEM Duratracs. Bought the truck brand new and I wouldn't buy these tires again because at about 10-15k in they started with a nasty vibration (worse than any mud tire I've ever driven), especially between 50-60mph, and generally noisy like a mud tire at most other speeds. The inside of the tires are obviously and severely cupped, probably the issue. What I don't know is whether this is my truck's fault or the tires. I rotated on schedule, but only balanced twice, and never had an alignment done - it's possible that may be the cause.
Other than noise, in 60k miles I still have enough tread to where I could go 70k. I drive off-road in snow a couple times per year and they perform very well. Wet traction has always been pretty terrible. Never had a puncture, and that's with a decent amount of sidewall abuse; even for C rated tires I think they are relatively tough.

I have owned 3 set of Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac the first 2 sets were 255/75r17 and now I have 285/70r17. They are fantastic tires and very good in mud, sand, dirt, and amazing in the snow. The can be a little wobbly in loose gravel. I keep buying them BUT they wear very unevenly some lugs wear before other lugs and have on all three sets. They get VERY loud as they wear unevenly. See the photo of the uneven wear. I will keep getting them as they are fantastic off road and snow tires.

Very good tire on a Ram 1500 in Canada. Much better winter traction than the Toyo AT2. I have also had the BFG KO2 and they are very similar. Performance is excellent in the snow for four years now. Not too loud or harsh on the highway but more so than the P metric tires that came on the truck new.
Great in wet and dry the first three years. After that very slippery in wet conditions. Haven’t tested the tire in Snow.
Great for offroad driving.
Noisy
Put these on as a replacement for a set of Wrangler MT/R tires, for noise they are a bit quieter than the Wranglers and they have a good bit mor grip both in the wet and dry compared with them, off road they seem to perform as well as the Wrangler, and in the winter they have much better grip than them on ice and snow, tho this year has not been as bad as previous years.
In Belgium they do not have a winter rating where as in other countries they do.
Replaced the OEM Michelin H/T tires on my 2019 HiLux SR5 at 50,000 kms. After some research, I've settled on a set of Duratracs ordered through the local Tirepower store. First I was a little disappointed having slightly more tire noise, however my opinion of this tire changed as soon as I've taken it off-road. It's taken an already capable unmodified vehicle to the next level! It is practically now unstoppable under most conditions. It grabs the dirt like a dedicated mud tire and gives me added confidence under all conditions. It seems to soak up bumps unladen a lot better, however a little jittery at speed. A slight tire noise is really a small price to pay for the incredible grab in sand, mud and gravel roads. Tread wear after 10,000 kms seems absolutely minimal, I expect a 80,000 km useful life span from these tires. Duratrac is highly recommended if you are looking for a high quality aggressive hybrid A/T tire. Due to the large shoulder blocks, these tires should be rotated every 10,000 kms religiously. As a reminder, don't accept a CHINESE made Good Year. Only go for the ones made in the USA or CANADA.
These tires are best all-terrain I've used so far, compared with BF goodrich All terrain, General Grabber AT2 and AT3, Cooper S/T, Lassa Competus A/T and Powerlander A/T. Duratracs are great offroad but keep in mind they have softer sidewalls. After 2-3 years they became very noisy on dry pavement - every turn or stopping is so noisy the pedestrians turn heads to see whats happening.
In wet stopping is not available for a vehicle without ABS.
Snow handling is good only on fresh snow.
Ice handling - if they were studded probably. Bare tire - no.
They last forever - I have them for 6 years now and 60000km and they still have 8.5mm of thread(of 13).
great tire for the price, works great in dry and snow conditions, in wet, if its raining ,it grips great, if it is just slippery road, it has almost has no grip at all, i think that has to do with the rubber compound , but the grip difference is crazy once it goes from full wet [rainy] road to just slightly wet..
Fitted these to my Discovery 4 commercial and have done close to 40,000 miles over 18 months, excellent tires on and off road and really come into their own in snow. They are now down to about 4 mill tread depth and will be replaced with another set ready for winter.
Cracking tire on my Range Rover Sport. Great on-road and off.
On road, they are not as comfortable or quiet than road based Conti's but not loud enough to provide any noticeable cabin nose. The RRS is well soundproofed anyway! Road feedback is good, perhaps too much as you do feel the bumps, perhaps because the tires are an AT.
Off road and on ice they are great for an AT. Never been stuck, even in deep mud and sheet ice. Followed Defenders no problem.
Great tire if you need an AT. Brilliant all rounder. Reccomended.
