Goodyear Duratracs

[etlsport]

they are supposed to be super quiet on the road.. meant for construction trucks and such, i wanted to get a set of them, but theyre not offered in 18s... only downside to them i have heard is that they heat up on long highway trips and wear down quickly.. not sure what the mileage warranty on them through goodyear is.. iirc is 50,000 miles so if they do, you should be covered.. overall i think a pretty good tire

btw saw the other day on discounttires.com the goodyear fortera HL is like 86 bucks in 245 60 18

not sure what kinda tire you are going for.. but i have not seen any michelin SUV tires i would put on my vehicle.. id also try to shy away from anything h/t as they will not handle the pittsburgh snow well

i actually do kind of like the bridgestone dueler APT.. nice tread pattern, looks like it could be a good mix of on and mild offroad capabilities.. never driven on them though

I actually saw these at Walmart!
Look nice and agressive for an A/T.

Nitto is coming out with a new M/T tire! The Trail Grappler!
Pretty aggressive looking tire

Also my Next choice for when i get M/T tires is going to be the Khumo Road Venture MT KL71
Really sporty M/T tire has great looks and from the over 100 reviews i have read only two people complain about them, but all of the other have nothing but great things to say about this tires.

I would have to say that new Nitto is probably the nicest looking off road tire Nitto makes.
I am leaning towards the BFG MT2 for my next set of tires...I'd like to get the Maxxis Creepy Crawlers but can't seem to get over the extra cost of them.

Probably the very best possible choice in the 16" rim size!!! GO FOR IT!!!

i hear really bad things about the treadwear on yokohama geolanders

I like this duratrack from firestone,but after reading lot of reviews to blow off my eye balls i think they aren't a good choice for those you commute a lot of highway,as how eric just said they wears out pretty fast.

However if you are city driver these ones can be a good option though.

x2!


everyone i know who is really into offroading/trucks says that the geolandar is horrible, because it wears very unevenly

x3 - Keep in mind that any unidirectional tire will wear unevenly due to the inability to rotate the tires. My last car wore Michelin Pilot Sports in 225-45-18s in the front and 245-45-18s in back. Those tires are unidirectional and due to the staggered size you couldn't rotate them front to back or side to side. Uneven tread wear was horrible on that tire. And at $225+ PER TIRE, replacing them every 20K miles was enough to break the bank on an all-too-regular basis.

x3 on the new Trail Grapplers too. That's a bad *** looking tread design (even better than the Terra Grapplers IMHO).
