Cheezy tire shot...

Thought I'd get a video of my tire going 'round. For all you info hounds, it is a Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac, 285/75-16 (33 inch tall tire).

I had those ( 305/55/20R ) on my ram 1500 and they were shaking like hell over 80. we change the set for a new kit, same thing again. I think my axle is bent...

@Eaglets1 I haven't had any issues with them. I know with the wider tread, my loose steering is more pronounced. Time for new front bushings!

i just put a set on my 01 ram 2500 diesel, and they are very quiet! great on snow and ice as well, with the soft compound! i believe they will wear quickly in summer though. hope to test them more in the future months! they have never left me down, very impressed with winter handling so far tho!

@jmanwild I'm not seeing any severe wear on mine, and I've got a few highway minles on them. My buddy has a set on him '05 ram 1500, he's done about 20k so far. Holding up great. I think they're rated at 50K for tire life.

how do the duratracs do in the mud?

[pearsonba350]

@4986hunterofsouth haven't had a chance to run them in any deep stuff, but they do clean themselves pretty well of any goo I have run them through. The side lugs do toss a lot of stuff on the hood, though. Good tire, I ahven't heard anything bad about them.

@pearsonba350 duratracs dont have a milage rating. i know that for sure.

i wouldn't be surprised to get 50k miles out of em, but thats like less then 3 years. i need more then 3 years out of a set of tires.

these duratracs look good because they have the grip/knobs on the sidewalls. Thanks for posting the video

[pearsonba350]

I think they're fairly quiet, but my truck is noisy to begin with. I might not be noticing the noise. My buddy has a set on his '07 Ram, he hasn't said anything about them being noisy.

I have procomp xterrains right now and I think they're noisy as hell on the highway.  I might get these duratracs they gotta be at least a little more quiet.
