275/55R20 Goodyear Duratracs on LX570 20’s

[7schulz]

Good option for a stock LX570?
I’m not trimming anything and like the GYDT on other LC I’ve had before. These are a little more narrow and slightly taller than the stock 285/50/20 Michelin Latitude Tour HP that are worthless.

I went with even taller. 275/60r20 but not AT tire. No issues with fitment and looks great with much better proportions

I have BFG KO2’s 275/55-20 on my Summer wheels, They work just fine, No rubbing.

Definitely had to do trimming. With my 275/60R20 I cannot stick finger between tire and fender at a full lock.

I'd personally encourage you to do a 285/55R20. At 32.4" tall and 11.2" wide, it'll fit without any mods.

Consider that a 275/55R20, has 10mm less tread width, in an AT tire compound, and an AT tread pattern.

Each one of those qualities reduces cornering and braking traction on road, compared to the stock highway tread tire. All together, it would be a significant detriment to traction. And safety in my mind. In on-road use where the vehicle likely sees 99% of its use. It's a questionable trade in my mind.

Did you end up buying the Duratracks?

 

[7schulz]

Yes

How do you like them? I'm torn between them and the K02's. Is the ride still quiet and how are they on snow covered roads?

You might find notes from a professional tire tester that got to bench many of the leading tires here useful. Search in the comments which includes useful information on the KO2s and Duratracs.

I am glad that the check from Toyo cleared his bank...seemingly he has lots of personal investment in Toyo and AT3 success.

I’ve had 5 sets of Duratracs on different land cruisers. I really like them. Quiet and great traction. That being said my next set will be KO2’s for personal reasons

Called a tire store around me (Mavis Discount Tire) and was told Goodyear Duratracs are not available in 285/55R20 ,only Wrangler Adventurer with kevlar.

No, they are not. But they are available in ISO Metric 275/55R20 SL 113T which is, after all, the size which is the subject of this thread.

HTH

This post from above makes sense to me.

The Kevlar sidewalls are appealing to me based on the 20" rim.
I really want the best of all worlds. Speed, snow, and noise.
