The DuraTracs will tractor through any dirt and sand driving situation, and even deep mud and snow. We tried and tried to get stuck, but the tires would simply pull the Jeep through, tossing the debris aside and self-cleaning before the next rotation.

Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires offer an impressive blend of abilities, acting as an all-terrain-style tire on the pavement and on loose dirt roads, and as a mud-terrain-style tire in deep dirt, sand, mud, and snow. The DuraTracs are also capable of rock-crawling feats similar to that of its big brother, the Goodyear Wrangler MTR with Kevlar.

We aired down the DuraTracs to about 16 psi. We could have dropped much further but it simply wasn't necessary. The tires flexed well over rocks, with the shoulder blocks offering additional traction to the sidewall areas of the tires.

We tested a set of 33x12.50R15LT DuraTracs mounted on 15x9 Raceline Monster beadlock wheels.

Angled center tread blocks and hefty shoulder blocks greatly enhance overall traction. The center blocks offer excellent self-cleaning ability and the shoulder blocks are a great aid in rocky terrain where side-of-the-tire traction is often necessary. A built-in rim protector is also in place to help save wheels from accidental damage.

The Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac is available in 31x10.50R15LT and 33x12.50R15LT sizes, as well as P-metric sizes ranging from 28- to 35-inch diameters to fit 16-, 17-, 18-, and 20-inch wheels.
