That would probably be me fester?
The GY Wrangler Duratracs are an excellent all-round tyre, and they are super aggressive for an All-Terrain. Pretty much as close as you can get to a muddy and the fact that they come with decent side-biters makes them even better.
I have now done 12,000kms on mine (a couple had already done 8,000 when I bought them) and they still look pretty much like new, just a little feathered on the outside edge of the front tyres from turning. They need to be rotated once I install my IRO adjustable control arms. I reckon I'll get close to 100,000 out of them for sure which is excellent.
So far they have been faultless. They grip well on the road, in the wet and performed very well at Fraser Island running at around 18 psi. Unfortunately I haven't had much of a chance to test them offroad in mud, but whilst I'm aware they are no muddy, I'm sure they would out-perfrom just about any other A/T.
They have become slightly more noisy on the road since new (when they were silent), but no worse than the BFG A/T's they replaced. Only downside for me so far is fuel economy, but that would happen with any aggressive tyre, particularly when you go up in diameter.
Also consider Kelly TSR's. Pretty much the same tyre with different tread pattern. Made by Goodyear too.
best a/t tyres??
