I seen these a wal-mart the other day and i can't find any information on them anywhere although they look like a very good and aggressive A/T tire.

I am pretty sure those are the same as the goodyear wrangler duratracs. They are just probably specially made for walmart.

QUOTE Talked to Goodyear directly and they stated that the tire is made specifically for Walmart and it is brand new. Called my local walmart and they were able to look it up only by size, not brand. The closest thing they came up with to a 285 was 265/75/16 ($165). If this tire starts coming in larger sizes and has any kind of sidewall strength, I have a feeling it will become very popular. thats what i got when i googled it and found that on a different forum |

I went ahead and bought some at walmart yesterday. They ride good. I do hear them just a bit and you feel them below 10 mph. I only have 50 miles on them so time will tell. I don't know when I will get to go ride some backwoods roads so I can NOT say how they will do in mud or offroading.

dannng, they don't look as good mounted as I thought they would. They looked pretty cool on the shelf though. Hate the sidewall for some reason.

Yeah the pictures I posted makes them look kind of blah but they do look better. I need to clean them up and retake a pic. They ain't sexy looking but they look better than in those pics. |

I want some with an agressive sidewall. I love the tread pattern on the authorities, however.

if you want an aggresive sidewall go for a super swamper trXus MT, the side walls on those made my leg bleed when i fell against them. O_o
