The Tyre Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tyre scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Review Summary

Based on 13 user reviews

Most drivers rate the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac highly, praising its outstanding snow and off-road traction, solid dry performance, and generally good longevity. Noise is the most consistent drawback, often increasing as the tyre wears or after a few years, and several users note mixed wet grip (good in heavy rain but less predictable on lightly wet surfaces). Comfort is acceptable for an aggressive A/T but firmer and slightly noisier than road-biased tyres. Overall sentiment is strongly positive given the high number of high-scoring reviews and repeat purchases.

Strengths
  • Snow traction
  • Off-road grip (mud/sand/dirt)
  • Dry grip/handling
  • Tread life/longevity
  • Overall value
Areas for Improvement
  • Road noise (increases with wear/age)
  • Inconsistent wet grip on lightly wet surfaces
  • Ride firmness/jitter

Very good tire on a Ram 1500 in Canada. Much better winter traction than the Toyo AT2. I have also had the BFG KO2 and they are very similar. Performance is excellent in the snow for four years now. Not too loud or harsh on the highway but more so than the P metric tires that came on the truck new.

Great in wet and dry the first three years. After that very slippery in wet conditions. Haven’t tested the tire in Snow. Great for offroad driving. Noisy

I have owned 3 set of Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac the first 2 sets were 255/75r17 and now I have 285/70r17. They are fantastic tires and very good in mud, sand, dirt, and amazing in the snow. The can be a little wobbly in loose gravel. I keep buying them BUT they wear very unevenly some lugs wear before other lugs and have on all three sets. They get VERY loud as they wear unevenly. See the photo of the uneven wear. I will keep getting them as they are fantastic off road and snow tires.

Put these on as a replacement for a set of Wrangler MT/R tyres, for noise they are a bit quieter than the Wranglers and they have a good bit mor grip both in the wet and dry compared with them, off road they seem to perform as well as the Wrangler, and in the winter they have much better grip than them on ice and snow, tho this year has not been as bad as previous years. In Belgium they do not have a winter rating where as in other countries they do.

Replaced the OEM Michelin H/T tyres on my 2019 HiLux SR5 at 50,000 kms. After some research, I've settled on a set of Duratracs ordered through the local Tyrepower store. First I was a little disappointed having slightly more tyre noise, however my opinion of this tyre changed as soon as I've taken it off-road. It's taken an already capable unmodified vehicle to the next level! It is practically now unstoppable under most conditions. It grabs the dirt like a dedicated mud tyre and gives me added confidence under all conditions. It seems to soak up bumps unladen a lot better, however a little jittery at speed. A slight tyre noise is really a small price to pay for the incredible grab in sand, mud and gravel roads. Tread wear after 10,000 kms seems absolutely minimal, I expect a 80,000 km useful life span from these tyres. Duratrac is highly recommended if you are looking for a high quality aggressive hybrid A/T tyre. Due to the large shoulder blocks, these tyres should be rotated every 10,000 kms religiously. As a reminder, don't accept a CHINESE made Good Year. Only go for the ones made in the USA or CANADA.

These tires are best all-terrain I've used so far, compared with BF goodrich All terrain, General Grabber AT2 and AT3, Cooper S/T, Lassa Competus A/T and Powerlander A/T. Duratracs are great offroad but keep in mind they have softer sidewalls. After 2-3 years they became very noisy on dry pavement - every turn or stopping is so noisy the pedestrians turn heads to see whats happening. In wet stopping is not available for a vehicle without ABS. Snow handling is good only on fresh snow. Ice handling - if they were studded probably. Bare tire - no. They last forever - I have them for 6 years now and 60000km and they still have 8.5mm of thread(of 13).

great tire for the price, works great in dry and snow conditions, in wet, if its raining ,it grips great, if it is just slippery road, it has almost has no grip at all, i think that has to do with the rubber compound , but the grip difference is crazy once it goes from full wet [rainy] road to just slightly wet..

Given 92% while driving a Land Rover Discovery 4 (255/55 R19 H) on a combination of roads for 38,000 spirited miles
Fitted these to my Discovery 4 commercial and have done close to 40,000 miles over 18 months, excellent tyres on and off road and really come into their own in snow. They are now down to about 4 mill tread depth and will be replaced with another set ready for winter.

Given 83% while driving a Land Rover Range Rover Sport (225/55 R19) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
Cracking tyre on my Range Rover Sport. Great on-road and off.
On road, they are not as comfortable or quiet than road based Conti's but not loud enough to provide any noticeable cabin nose. The RRS is well soundproofed anyway! Road feedback is good, perhaps too much as you do feel the bumps, perhaps because the tyres are an AT.
Off road and on ice they are great for an AT. Never been stuck, even in deep mud and sheet ice. Followed Defenders no problem.
Great tyre if you need an AT. Brilliant all rounder. Reccomended.

Mine are actually the Walmart equivalent( goodyear authority), the center line is more of an inroad design, the voids aren't as large so the don't clear as well. And the side lugs do not alternate for as aggressive biting off road. But they have 30,000k without noticeable wear on my 1/2 ton, and really good traction on ice. They ride smooth and are not overly noisy, look great, and price out the door for under 800 a set.

I fitted these to my 4x4 in Oct 2011,and have been running them since. I commute approximately 90 miles per day, and have to say, these tyres have not missed a beat.
