The Wrangler Duratrac RT is Goodyear's Rugged All-Terrain tire, built for the drivers of pickups, work vehicles, SUVs and trucks requiring a tire with the rugged durability needed to get the job done, all day, every day. Engineered to easily traverse the urban jungle, dirt, gravel, and unimproved jobsites, the Wrangler Duratrac RT combines on-road transportation with off-road prowess and traction year-round, including light snow performance meeting the tire industry's severe snow service rating requirements for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT

The Wrangler Duratrac RT features a next-generation tread design comprised of a rugged compound formulated for durability, built to resist deformation, chunking or tearing during off-road or heavy duty applications. Its wide-grooved symmetric tread pattern combines large shoulders and highly angled center tread blocks to enhance stability and traction in dry and wet conditions. An optimized pressure footprint encourages predictable highway driving and even wear for longer service life. The alternating lug patterns in the shoulder and sidewall provide additional grip on all surfaces, including rock, thick mud, or loose soil. Deep, circumferential grooves and wide, lateral notches improve hydroplaning resistance. The zigzag sipes interspersed through each tread block ensure the biting edges needed for traction in cold, slippery conditions are always ready.

The internal construction of the Wrangler Duratrac RT features three-ply polyester cord sidewalls encircled by twin steel belts for off-road durability and on-road drivability. All capped off with a 2-ply polyamide casing reinforced by Kevlar™. The Durawall sidewall compound features a triple-ply design for added rigidity and protection against deformation, cuts and punctures.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.

...They do not slide around on wet roads even under hard power.

Price was hard to beat. We have a set on some of our emergency vehicles and they are holding up really well with no weird noise or wear patterns. They do not slide around on wet roads even under hard power.

...The only caviot, was once when I was on the highway in heavy rain I went through a pool of standing water, and it did hydroplane. However I think any vehicle going that speed through that amount of water would hydroplaned regardless of the tires...

I initially bought the tires because I liked the look of them, and the reviews seemed mostly positive. They have exceeded my expectations.
First off they look even cooler than I had imagined on my 2011 Frontier pickup truck. I bought them on line, and Tire Rack shipped them to my local Discount Tire store, who did a phenomenal job installing the tires and aligning my truck. I love how solid they feel, and they are very quiet and responsive. I've driven them in all kinds of conditions, including rain,snow, ice, icy slush,dry pavement, gravel, and off road. They preformed perfectly in all conditions. The only caviot, was once when I was on the highway in heavy rain I went through a pool of standing water, and it did hydroplane. However I think any vehicle going that speed through that amount of water would hydroplaned regardless of the tires.
My final thoughts are, my Goodyear Wrangler Durotec tires are the nicest tires I've ever owned. I would definitely recommend them.

...If you need traction on work sites etc. and still want decent traction on wet pavement without a lot of noise these are the answer...

I venture into places most wouldnt go with a 2WD van,frequently use rural boat launches,pull my camper in and out of our property with only a dirt road (somtimes muddy during rain)
and these do a great job yet still have surprisingly good road manners, Have not had them in the snow yet but the last pair did that well and they lasted over 50000 miles (rear position only).
After the last pair wore out I replaced front and rear with quality all season radials and got stuck twice last year so these are back on the rear.If you need traction on work sites etc. and still
want decent traction on wet pavement without a lot of noise these are the answer.Im a mechanic and mounted these myself,they balanced well without using huge wheel weights and these
are E load range.My experience with 2 pairs has been good and would recommend.

...They handled great in the deep snow. We tend to get some good snowfall in this area and they definitely came in handy. They had good bite in the light snow and the deep snow...

Now that I have driven them through the winter/snow, this is my 2nd review on these tires. So far I really like them. They still ride great, not much road noise compared to the Original Equipment tires. They handled great in the deep snow traction. We tend to get some good snowfall in this area and they definitely came in handy. They had some good bite in the light snow and the deep snow. A little slippery on ice, but expected. I wish it had a little more traction in the wet. These seem to have some really good wear as well. Overall, these tires are great and I would buy them again. The more agressive tread pattern and shoulder blocks are another feature that I really appreciate too.

...The new DuraTrac RT is much better than the original DuraTrac and 1000 times better than the OEM Territory. I noticed an immediate relief in the noise and much better handling...

Bought these to replace the factory Goodyear Wrangler Territory MTs on my Silverado ZR2, which at 33,000 miles were so loud I couldn’t use the hands free phone. The new DuraTrac RT is a much better tire than the original DuraTrac and 1000 times better than the OEM Territory. I noticed an immediate relief in the noise and much better handling. In fact the day I got them there was snow and ice on the ground and they were excellent in both. Now, at 17K miles, they are as quiet as they were new, they show little sign of wear, and they have been through two summers and two winters of snow and ice. These are the best AT tires that I have used.

I love the look, this size is 255/70 R18 XL which i wanted to keep with stock size but the XL load rating and 3 ply sidewall is great for offroad and still very comfortable on-road...

I have only had a very short while, 1st impressions are fantastic. I love the look , this size is 255/70 R18 XL which i wanted to keep with stock size but the XL load rating and 3 ply sidewall is great for offroad and still very comfortable on-road. All tires balance with no weights and I am hopeful they last the 50k warranty but either way as of now very happy. It's winter in WV and we get all kinds of weather and road conditions and I didn't want to run the stock tires. So ready for winter and any trail I would ever take my Bronco on. I know there is much more off road capable options but for my driving they will be perfect. If anyone is wondering the XL load rating is actually a 3 ply sidewall , winning! I did not purchase from Tirerack but I have used them for all of my previous purchases and would recommend them.

This is my 2nd set of these tires. I got 60,000 miles on the 1st set. They ride very comfortable with great traction. I don't mud ride but do ride on dirt roads after days of rain also muddy soft grass and clover. Great traction with no getting stuck where other people do.

Very good tire, good traction and comfortable to drive. They did start getting a little noisy after rolling 30k miles but not bad. At 44k miles they have started to shake a bit. Time to buy another set. I’ve tried many different brands on many different trucks and I think this has been my best setup. Just make sure you choice the right load rating and speed rating for what you do, makes a big difference on ride quality and your safety.

...I've had these on my truck for a little over 50k miles. They passed inspection without any issues, but I can definitely feel and kinda see they are starting to wear down. Just amazing at how many miles I've had them and they are still trucking along great!

Actually writing a review as I am about to re purchase this same tire. I've had these on my truck for a little over 50k miles. They passed inspection without any issues, but I can definitely feel and kinda see they are starting to wear down. Just amazing at how many miles I've had them and they are still trucking along great!
