Duratracs - Reviews from owners?


DLS-001

I'm loving the looks of the Goodyear Duratracs (275/60/20) but I was wondering if we could get some owner feedback on these tires. To be 100% honest, I will probably never off road with these tires but I want the look. :chill:

 

So, how is the on road noise? Any vibrations? Mush?

 

These trucks are very quiet, which I love, so I'm concerned with the noise...

 

Thanks in advance!

I have 285/60/20's and they are louder than stock but nothing unbearable IMO. I notice them more when I slow down than at highway speeds. I love them though. They aren't any louder than BFG A/T KO's or Nitto Trail Grapplers that I have had on previous Trucks. No vibrations and they aren't mush they are a stiffer tire being a LT 10 ply.

I run them in a 33x12.50 on my Jeep, they get loud if not rotated. They seem to be wearing really well after 20,000 miles. I will most likely put them on my truck when it is ready for some new shoes

Love the look, no noise on mine, but they ride horrible. Went through 8 tires when first mounting before we got 4 good ones that road forced within specs. Still have 1 bad one that balances fine but still vibrates. I wont be buying another set.

I've put duratracs on my past 2 trucks and I love them. They are a lot quieter that expected be a semi aggressive tread pattern. On my first truck (2005 Tacoma) they wore down 3/32 after almost 20k miles. I didn't check the tread depth on my old 03 sierra but still look pretty new after 10k miles.

They have very good road handling in the wet and dry and if you see snow & ice, they are beast. Alot of the time not even needing 4wd.

All that being said, the sets on both trucks were a little tough to balance. Some needed 1.5oz others

needed 6oz+. And one tire on my sierra was defective and needed to be replaced. Goodyear was great though and sent a new tire and it balanced out

good. All this has not detured me and in 99% sure I'll

be putting another set on my 2014 sierra as well.

I've been looking at toyo at 2's but I'm worried about the snow & ice grip they'll provide or lack there of.

All in all these duratracs are very good tires in just about all conditions and have changed my perception

of goodyear tires which I used to think was crap.

Out in Colorado, I'd say 2 out of every 5 modded trucks run duratracs which is saying something IMHO

Been running 33" Duratrac's since August of 2012, ~40k miles on them and they're just now getting to the point that they talk a little. I've had them balanced and rotated every 5k miles. They've been great on and off road. Its best if you keep them aired up at 45PSI, provides a nice ride as well as being quiet but you can still use them offroad. I've only aired them down once for better traction in snow and ice, otherwise they've stayed the same.

    • Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer
    • Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.
    • My 6.6 gas lt8 had lifter noise with 28000 miles bought new 2026 and while driven to dealer it threw #1 rod bearing “HD my ass” good luck with yours i hope it don’t turn a rod bearing!
    • When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.
    • Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
