Default Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac Tires

Is anyone running these new tires that can provide some real world feedback?

I like the way they look but they're one load range higher than the OEM specification. I'd like to know how they handle on the H3 and if there are any bouncing/hopping/stuttering problems driving on road.

Thanks!

I have a H3T and will be having these installed tomorrow @ 10:00 am. I will let you know when I get them on.

Thanks for your help! The DuraTracs are getting good reviews in general but so far no feedback from H3 owners that I can find.

Looks great but my Bridgestone OEM are wearing like iron, so I'll have to wait.

Well I got em! I have only drove about 30 miles on them but so far they are very quiet and I have noticed no difference in ride or drive quality. They actually look way better in person than in photo.

I hope to get off the road with them soon.

That's a great looking truck you've got there!

Did you go with 265 or 285 DuraTracs?

265's I didn't want to mess with re-calibrating the speedo.

Nice! Maybe it's the sidewall blocks, those tires look bigger than the OEM 265's.

I was going to say the same thing. Those are beautiful.

They look too good! I just decided to stick with the 265 size but now I'm also going to swap out my spare too.

Goodyear seems to have finally pulled ahead of BFG for this type of AT tire.
