The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company recently introduced the newest tire in the Wrangler family: the Wrangler DuraTrac RT, an all-season on- and off-road tire engineered to take on tough terrain with strength and dependability.
Outfitted for light trucks and SUVs, the Wrangler DuraTrac RT is built with the strength of DuPont Kevlar for protection against tread damage and a three-ply sidewall with Durawall compound to help resist punctures, abrasions and cuts in rough, off-road conditions. With a Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake designation, the tire features better traction and control in winter weather conditions with a proven tread pattern that has more biting edges for enhanced grip.
“From summer off-roading to snowy on-road drives, the new Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT provides drivers with the power and versatility to take them where they want to go,” said Michiel Kramer, director of Product Marketing, Goodyear. “Engineered with a proven tread pattern featuring more biting edges for enhanced grip, this versatile tire can help drivers take on any road or trail in any weather condition—rain, snow or shine.”
The newest member of Goodyear’s Wrangler family, the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT is backed with a 50,000-mile (80,000 kilometer) treadwear limited warranty. Available in 42 sizes, from 30 to 35 inches outside diameter, the 10-ply Wrangler DuraTrac RT is compatible with a wide range of popular pick-up trucks and SUVs, including the Chevrolet Silverado and Tahoe, GMC Sierra and Yukon, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Super Duty and F-150, Ram 1500 and more.
The Wrangler DuraTrac RT includes:
- Winter Weather-Worthy with a proven tread pattern that has more biting edges for enhanced grip on snowy surfaces and the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake designation.
- Three-ply sidewall with Durawall sidewall compound that helps resist punctures, abrasions and cuts in rough, off-road conditions.
