Looks like Goodyear is finally updating the Duratracs. They are available on their site in 285/70r17. Does anyone have any info on them?Not much information is posted about them on their site.

Nice! My Duratracs have been good and these look super similar. Maybe not as aggressive and Kevlar? Also available in 265/70/17 and many others.

Cureus how they will be. Perfect timing, ill probably replace mine next year.

Theyve made the tread pattern more street friendly by reducing lug voids but kept the great snow siping. I suspect that off road traction will suffer a but because of this which wont matter because 99.9% of people running this tire wont notice. The v1 Duratrac has been a great tire for my Jeep TJ that sees very technical terrain. No sidewall issues yet despite being a dedicated rock crawler.

Yea, looks like a good alternative to the Wildpeaks, Toyo AT3s and the like. And i bet they are even better in the rain/snow then the original Duratracs which have been great for me so far. I do like the more mud terrain design of the ordinal though for my off roading.

I’m curious how these new Duratracs perform as well.

I see Cooper just came out with a new tire, but a bit less aggressive.

Just picked a new 2023 to replace the 2016 I had…need to replace the stock Dunlops. Primarily highway driven, with the occasional easy to mid level trails in summer, with snow in winter. Have used the KO2 and most recently the Firestone Destination AT that I might go with again.
 
I ordered a set of these today for my new 2023 ORP. Was on the 4th set of the v1 Duratracs on my old 2010 I just sold… should have them installed next week. Review to come.
 
I've tried finding the weight but not much luck. Looks like only E rated right now, is this correct? Those Cooper's look interesting too. I'm probably going with a lighter tire than my current Cooper AT3s but they have performed extremely well.

Simpletire.com has them weighing 56lbs. Not bad for a E Load Range.

Wow, Cooper really got the brain trust together to come up with that name didn't they...
 
Had these tires put on today. My initial thoughts are very positive. First they are much quieter than my regular Duratracs. A lot better road manners. The vehicle does not wonder all over the road like my old ones. Probably due to stiffer sidewalls. Super impressive so far but its too early to get excited besides the road noise. And yes, they are 285/70r17.

Big improvement.

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.
