GOODYEAR Wrangler AUTHORITY vs DURATRACS

[mtrdud]

I'm getting ready to buy some tires. Now before somebody tries to flame me for not searching, this is a VERY specific question.
I have had a set of WALMART WRANGLER AUTHORITY tires and I DID NOT care for them. That was on a Jeep and I ended up with Mickey Thompsons.
I'm looking at a set of DURATRACS for the 80 after the lift next week. Are the DURATRACS noisy? How do they ride?
Thanks for opinions

I was well surprised when I got my 315 Duratracs on. Quiet as can be. Been great in the snow this year as well. Quietest open tread tire I have had. Only have 3-500 miles on them so far but they are great.

Love my 35" D-Tracs

Coming from 33" BFG KM's and KM2's, the difference on the road is night and day (and I thought the KM2's were quiet!!)

Thing is, since they're E rated, the same pressures I ran in the old BFG's don't exactly apply, so I've been playing with difference pressure for both ride quality, wear and mpg

Snake Eater what lift are you running?

Snake Eater what lift are you running?

Original OEM Springs + 2" Metal Tech spacers out front
OME 860 Medium Springs + AirLift Bags out back


I'll be ditching the spacers and going with a set of 850 Heavies as soon as I can afford it

The neat thing about bed liner is that I never have to wash it

Just let mother nature do her work and let it be

HAHA!

There's a reason they call our cruisers "mall cruisers" I guess eh?

The Goodyear Wrangler Authority tires are sold only at Walmart. Goodyear I thinks makes but I don't think Goodyear will honor any warranty. I'd stay away from them.

Oh I won't buy them again. I was wanting some feedback from those with Duratracs just to make sure they weren't a comparable tire to the Authority.

I have been nothing but happy with my 285 Duratracs, When I step up to 315's I will most likely buy them again. I dont do a lot of real heavy mud, it is my daily driver, they work very well in the snow, sand, and gravel roads. They are quieter than the BFG A/T's that I have had on my Tundra, 4runners, and Tacoma.
