I've had my eye on those Goodyear Duratracs myself. Look like they are a good aggressive tread but take enough for the daily driver. Nice work.

I love them so far but that isn't saying much :chuckle: my 40 mile review. Love the look, reviews were pretty good, price worked for me. They definitely make for a fluffy ride (lol that was my word explaining how it drove when I was texting smossy right after getting them).  :tup:

My brother has them on his Dodge 1500, they are pretty sweet. He has about 30k on them and they still look brand new. Ride pretty good and when he bought them they had a 50k warranty, which I believe they don't offer on them anymore.

You're correct, no longer offering a mileage warranty. I opted to purchase one, rather be with than without  :dunno:

Duratracs are really good tires.  They are excellent in the mud and snow, decent on the ice.  The will be much better on ice if you sipe them, which of course will potentially reduce the tread life if you drive much gravel.

I think you could reasonably expect in the 40-50k range for life of the tire.  I usually get 35-40k, but I drive quite a lot of gravel.

I see advertisements for it regularly so I assume so... the duratracs come factory siped though so not sure if there's a lot of added benefit for doing it again? Or maybe I'm wrong  :dunno: I don't really have a desire to get them done though.
