    Wrench Goodyear Duratracs

    Has anybody heard anything about the Goodyear Duratrac? They look like a cross between an A/T and a M/T tire. I've got to go tire shopping this week and these came up on my radar.

    they are supposed to be super quiet on the road.. meant for construction trucks and such, i wanted to get a set of them, but theyre not offered in 18s... only downside to them i have heard is that they heat up on long highway trips and wear down quickly.. not sure what the mileage warranty on them through goodyear is.. iirc is 50,000 miles so if they do, you should be covered.. overall i think a pretty good tire

    btw saw the other day on discounttires.com the goodyear fortera HL is like 86 bucks in 245 60 18

    not sure what kinda tire you are going for.. but i have not seen any michelin SUV tires i would put on my vehicle.. id also try to shy away from anything h/t as they will not handle the pittsburgh snow well

    i actually do kind of like the bridgestone dueler APT.. nice tread pattern, looks like it could be a good mix of on and mild offroad capabilities.. never driven on them though

    I actually saw these at Walmart!
    Look nice and agressive for an A/T.

    Nitto is coming out with a new M/T tire! The Trail Grappler!
    Pretty aggressive looking tire

    Also my Next choice for when i get M/T tires is going to be the Khumo Road Venture MT KL71
    Really sporty M/T tire has great looks and from the over 100 reviews i have read only two people complain about them, but all of the other have nothing but great things to say about this tires.
