Now thats what they shouldve named them!!

A dumb simple question, is the Duratrac RT rated with the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake like the original Duratracs? I cannot find any clear evidence it is on Goodyear's website.

In the picture in the first post, it looks like the 3PMSF symbol under the 'R' in RT.

They do have the 3PMSF symbol.

Thanks for confirming. I had pretty much decided on a set of Mickey Thompsons to replace my Yokohamas (which are pretty dead after over 40K miles). These are perplexing though as I've always been curious about Duratracs; almost went with them on my Jeep at one point.

I loved my previous Duratrac in snowy conditions but did not like how noisy they were. Even when they were new. These are suppose to be even better in snowy conditions and they are much quieter. I will have my first chance to test them out this Thursday as I am heading up to the mountains and it supposed to snow. I was doing to go with the Mickeys too but changed my mind after seeing these. The weight on the Mickeys is 65lbs vs 56lbs was my biggest concern in the E load range.

I’ve used the original Duratracs on 3 Jeep Wranglers and have them on my 4R. They’ve been awesome on snow and off road, but do get louder on highway once you have 20K+ miles on them, but it never really bothered me. I’ll be following to see how the new ones do on snow and off road.

solid mileage outta those yokohamas

Yeah, they were kind of a jack of all trades tire while being a master of none I'd say. I think the E-load was warrantied for 40K miles, so I have no complaints .

Got quite noisy for the last 10K miles especially I'd say and I also want to get something 3PMSF moving forward since I anticipate we'll be skiing a lot more as our kids get older now. I could already tell snow traction was on the downward trend the end of last winter and figure they'd get me killed if I try to keep running them.

It's barely rained here since March though, so driving on somewhat bald tires hasn't had much risk associated with it .

rain? havent heard of her. this landscaper is ok with it. I never thought i'd say this, but i wont go back to e rated for the toyota

I'm probably going to step back to XL load rating for my next set. Yes, everyone (including myself in the past) rants and raves about how much better E is for offroad driving, but considering my truck is probably on trails/dirt roads at most maybe 5% of the time (and honestly, usually more like 2% of the time), I think I'm going to take a risk to save some money, hopefully have a better ride and get a bit more gas mileage.

i've done a couple trips on these c rated tires. all good here

For those who are thinking about these tires here is my review after owning these tire for a month now and about 1000 miles. Highway driving plus a multiple Colorado passes.
These tires are pretty amazing. They are super quiet and smooth on highways. I would definitely compare the noise level of the Ko2s and quieter than my buddy’s newly installed wildpeaks on a tacoma. No steering vibrations or shaking issues like I had with my old KO2. They are definitely a little stiffer than the original Duratrac but thats probably because these a E load vs D and the Kevlar sidewall.
I did get to drive in hard pack and about 6 inches of snow. In both situations these tire preformed above my expectations. Definitely they did better in hard pack than my original Duratracs. No sliding or spinning out even in rear wheel drive. So far I would definitely recommend these tires not only for the performance but also their looks. They definitely look pretty awesome.

That's good to hear, I'm excited, I have a set getting installed right now as I type this at Discount Tire. 265/70r17 (left) going on my brother's Tacoma vs 285/75r17 (right) going on my 4Runner.

Sweet. Hopefully you also like them. That’s a huge difference between the two sizes.
