Goodyear Duratracs

[Triathlete]

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

One must evaluate their anticipated percentage of on-road vs. off-road travel when choosing between an A/T or an M/T. Many vehicle owner's mistakenly pick an M/T tire simply because it "looks good"; but afterwards gripe about the harsh ride, ill performance, tire noise and poor MPG.

In the State of PA where a person will encounter many types of terrain (dry streets, wet streets, snow, off-road dirt and mud); then, perhaps an A/T tire which has the capability to conquer all types of PA road conditions throughout the year should be chosen.

The very best choice for an A/T tire that can conquer all types of PA road conditions throughout the year while still being lightweight, quiet on the street, snowflake/mountain rated, and inexpensive to purchase is the world famous GENERAL - GRABBER AT2.

Thats a lot of PA advice for someone not from there

Circmand and I are both from Western PA and can claim first hand experience...the snowy conditions could definitely use an aggressive tread...way better than having to put chains on (like I used to do at least 1/yr). For those that know the area.....I lived in Mt. Lebanon and had to commute to Pitt.....chains got me there on more than one occasion in my old little Honda Civic! Would have much rather had more aggressive tread like these Duratracs!

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).
