Old sidewall looks way better than the new imo
Old sidewall looks way better
Please, include more tight shots of their hands in the tread when they're talking about specific features!
I'm on my 4th set of Good Year Duratrac's 👍👍🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸 my 5th set will be the RT Duratrac for sure 👍
Thanks for sharing Good Stuff guys!!

What are you on about the old ones not being 3-peak snowflake rated? The old ones have always had that rating, that's why they're so popular on Canadian pickups.
That's what I noticed too.
@@dalephillips8250 my guess is that the old ones have LT and non-LT sizes. Non-LT ones must be 2-ply sidewall and non 3-peak.
@collinmarquardt3997 that's possible as I've never looked at non LT sizes.
@@collinmarquardt3997just looked at a set of 4 ply non lt they have the 3 peak snow flake
the old ones has always have weak sidewalls,, but they don't want to mentioned it. Dishonest review.
I am a little disappointed that the new ones don't have stud holes like the old LT one (at least here in Canada), but overall it is great to see a new version!
Great review thank you
You’re not even showing the correct tires at 2:21 and 2:28 🤦♂️
Ya I noticed that too, the AT Adventure with Kevlar
Nice to see Goodyear make a more serious off-road tire. I went on a trip with ten trucks for nine days last year and only one vehicle had a puncture. A new Ford Bronco with the factory Goodyears, but it had two separate punctures.
They came on my truck when I bought it. It's a 13chevy 2500hd 4x4. I put close to 80k on that first set. Just got off a set of the goodyear ultra terrain ats which weren't that bad. Just didn't get the miles like the duratracs. So now I just got a set of the duratrac rts plus a new set of bilstein 5100 shocks on all 4 corners and it drives nicer then when I got it! Best tire for me here in the cascade mtns in Washington state.
Just installed 255/75/17 RT's on my 2024 Ram Dually. They look incredible and are quiet for now.
The old duratrac has had a 3 Peak rating since day 1. Every truck in Canada has them because they're legal to run in the provinces that mandate snow tires.
Yep
Mine aren’t
I ran a set of the old DuraTracs and was not impressed by their wet snow and ice performance. I tried a set of the new Goodyear Wrangler Ultra-Terrains and fell in love! Amazing grip in all conditions along with incredible wear. I was hoping that the new DuraTrac RTs would upgrade to the Ultra-Terrain rubber compound, but the rep said it was the same old compound. Too bad. I may try the new RTs if I can't get the Ultra-Terrains in a bigger size.
I ran DuraTrac on my Land cruiser for 12 years using 3 sets with an average of 120,000km on each set, now I am running them on the New Land Rover Defender 110 so far I have done 53,000Km but will be lucky to get another 20-25K more on the same tyres admittedly these tires did 4,000km of gravel road this year so still very good. I noticed in your comparison with the new LT version it looked like a bigger tyre was it?
2:24 guys this is NOT previous DuraTrac but All-Terrain Adventure which is quite different tyre ;)
I've noticed that error.
I've been a Duratrac fan for years except for the noise and performance on ice. I recently purchased a set of RTs, and after 1,200 miles, which included very icy conditions, can attest those two issues have been resolved. I'm extremely pleased with the new RTs on my 2013 Jeep 2 door, Rubicon. I also love the 3 ply sidewall and can run them comfortably at 28 psi on the highway.
Buy a Prius
??? @@johnphillipsjr7238
I run them at 28psi on road and have never had any issues on my 2920 Tundra. 285/75/18 ..the psi usually goes up by 3-4 after driving for a bit ..have 30K on them now
Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, I was worried about the noise too.
Booked an appointment tomorrow to get the new duratrac RT! Can't wait for road trip next week to test out!
How do you like em? I like the old tire better the way it looks idk man.
@@tonniopennia4540just got the new duratracs on my FJ. I think they look really good. I had the old ones on before and might prefer the new ones tbh
Updates on the RTs?
They have been awesome this winter! I've done about 4k and they are much quitter (a bit stiffer though) @@tonniopennia4540
They are dang good tire! Highly recommend! they are quieter, sticky, but a bit stiffer which has been great! I've had no issues up/over mt hood pass an into several ski areas; also excellent when towing snowmobiles as well :) @@daoyang8919
Good reviews as always. But I think better lighting would help!
How about getting rid of that annoying background music!
Lighting wouldn't help those new tires. They look cheap
@@rmac1828 🤣🤣🤣
What would be the biggest size of the new rt I can fit on my stock 2023 tundra without rub? If you let me know I will definitely order ASAP 🤩 I've had the older ones on a Tacoma and loved them on Alaska roads and highways, year round. Thank you!
I live in USA Phoenix AZ mostly 🏜️ desert but up North is snow & service roads. Where I'm driving daily 4 months of the years the pavement is 160-175° i like the BF-Goodrich KO2's E-rated on my Tacoma 6-speed manual TRD off-road 4X4. Only place I've heard they need improvement is in wet🌡️we rarely get 🌧️ so these should be good for what i need. Going to put them on after the summer
how deep does the syping go? I've had the original Duratrac and it seamed like most of the syping was gone after 30-40% of wear
Put 400 miles on my new RT’s over the weekend and they seem quieter than my last set. Got 70,000 miles on an ‘05 Grand Cherokee with the last ones and the ones on my Dodge 2500 are holding up well with about 40,000 miles. They are loud as hell when they get around 60 or 70% worn but what mildly aggressive tires don’t?
How does these compare to a BFGoodrich K03 ? And wildpeak AT4
So how many actual plies are the new dura tracks?
I bought my first truck - it’s a (SUV) 2003 Jeep wrangler X and it came with 33x12.5x15 OG Duratracs on it.. I have nothing to compare them to but they need to be replaced and for some reason I want to check out other tires ideally kenda or Mickey Thompson but that size is a bit rare ..
What about any new sizes, 37"x 11, or 255/85r17
Are they quieter? My duratracs are too loud. I can't wait to wear them down so I can get different tires.
Are they unbearable, what price would they not be worth it ? Mine are $300 per tire
@@krispayyt5380 they sound like mud tires. I can hear them at all speeds
@cjlos2050sp they are a mud and heavy snow tire. No shit they are gonna be louder than a normal tire.... I drive like 20+ hrs every 2 weeks at highway speeds on them and they are fine
Different trucks resonate differently in my experience.
yeah i need new tires, i had the now 'old' duratrac's & luv em, exceptional grip in the wet (i found) and good on any surface ... the sidewall is a bummer on the new ones. might try get old ones or go for something else. Any suggestions? Was looking at the Nitto Ridge Grapplers but read mixed reviews.
You going to get mixed reviews on EVERY tire. It's down to the driver in the end. Some love 'em… some hate 'em.
There is no such thing as a tire that everyone loves. You just need to decide what's right for you…. not what's right for the other guy.
I have bay duratrac rt 265/70/17 LT POR and there is no 3MSPF,can you tell me why?
3PMSF*
I love how the tires are positioned for great view for the reviewer but not for the viewer. Guess they only really wanted to showcase the sidewall.
Should have never changed the tread pattern. Good job on side walls but it was perfect
I have had duratracs on my last three trucks. Just ordered the duratrac rt’s for my 3500. They got spendy tho. Almoat 2k for 4 tires.
Is the siping on the RT full depth?
Interesting new tire. We need it in LT 35x12.5R18 (and 17s) for off-roaders.
Customers said leave it alone! Goodyear, let’s change everything! 😢
Just got the new ones....I had the older version on my truck before....new ones suck in mud...older was better....was able to do a lot more off roading!!!!...even with half tread
I don't think they will sell too many of these solely for looks (like Ridgegrapplers and some others)...that sidewall looks kinda tame :-(
This video just leaves me with more questions. Assuming the Oz market spec is no different than US spec, where Duratracs have been a huge success. The new RT is available both in LT and non-LT in the US. Both 3PMSF rated in the sizes for my F-150 (275/60-20). Both E load rated, but the LT has a higher service description (123/120 vs 115). Not sure of sidewall ply differences in the RT vs LT-RT.
Am I right to assume that fuel mileage will get worse with these heavier, stiffer tires?
So now rt is 3 ply so not going to do much to air down in sand because the side wall will be real hard?
You can air down no problem
Would the ride quality not be a lot rougher with 3 ply side walls over 2 ply when driving on regular roads?
🤦♂️🤡
@@johnphillipsjr7238he is just asking bro
@@johnphillipsjr7238 what an ass 🤨
Yeah I still like the old side walls better
I love how they talk about "don't change it.. so we didn't" minus the 7 different changes.. should have made the old tire 3ply sidewall and thats it. looks way worse and now im worried about it chunking off on gravel because of the little groove in the outer tread like a BFG
Exactly. They ruined a perfect tire to make it quieter. Disappointing
Well that's helped me make my decision ,I've been running the old duratracs for years over all types off terrain with incredible mileage. I'll now be turning my attention to another brand. shouldn't try and fix something that isn't broken .
Camera angles is awful. We can't see what you show 3/4 of the time. One thing I'm sure is the duratrac RT is a lot better!
How can you be so sure of that when you can’t even spell worth a fuck?
The new ones remind me of the Adventures with Kevlar....basically the Adventures and old Duratracs had a baby lol.
It’s 3 ply but does it have a 10 ply rating?
Yes it does
Never had an issue with sidewall failure, but to be fair I only ever took on one two day trip in the mountains. The wet traction truly sucks, but snow traction is quite good. It’s even fairly competent in the mud, I’m really looking forward to buying a set of these and try them out.
Lastly a little detail often ignored is how light the original duratrac weighs, the unsprung weight comes with many advantages.
The sidewall strength was always there downfall in the lighter load versions but still a great tire.
Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac in back 🤗👍👌💪
Old sidewall looks way better.
I’ve put the old Duratracs on my GU Patrol and our MU X, awesome tyre! On the Patrol mine have done 110,000kms and have so much tread left I’m putting them on the camper trailer. The new Duratrac RT’s are going on the Patrol today. My only beef with Goodyear is this.. The original Duratrac was the perfect tyre for those wanting a reliable all terrain with the look of an aggressive mud terrain tyre, all you had to do was introduce the 3 ply side wall.. why did you have to go and ruin the look of the side biters, they looked so much better before..
Do they come with white lettering?
I don’t think so?
you should get ming moles
Can we get an English translation please?
It’s kind of hideous. Well….i hope it’s at least quieter.
🤦♂️🤡
I’m sticking with the Mickey Thompson Baja boss AT.
People complaining about the noise is why it changed. Buy a street tire if you want a quiet ride.
Not impressed with the RTs. My F350 tows 40' gooseneck trailers loaded to 26K lbs on snow at 85MPH. I have no reason to change to Its while my Faithful Duratrac is available. Sidewalls on old are very important to my 300yd driveway on a snow covered hill.
So now tell me why they are made in China?
I’m wondering the same thing. Are they made in China? Anyone have a plant code?
I just bought a new set of RT’s for my Tacoma. They’re made in Mexico.
Terrible bait and switch. Not at all the same tire. Try Mickey Thompson baja boss A/T. 3pmsf rated. Great looks. I was terribly disappointed when they switched out the classics. And then make up excuses for why it's "better". Bullshit.
Lmao they arent even comparing the old to new. I have the duratrac on my rebel and they look nothing like the ones when they talk about the siping lol unreal
New Geometry is not exactly new technology. A tire made out of some new composite material would constitute 'new technology'.
Disappointed...not so aggressiv anymore
It's hard to believe him after his lame 2-ply to 3-ply excuse. "Heavy loads," nope. Small tiny twigs puncturing the sidewall. At least tell the truth and not treat their customers like idiots.
Terrible showcase, can barely see anything.
