Bumping an old thread, just put on a set of 33x12.5-15 Duratracs and I'm happy with the performance so far. They are quiet on the street, balanced out well and ride nicely, they also got plenty of grip on some silty climbs offroad that I was slipping on myself when I got out of the truck.
However, I did slash a sidewall but don't stop reading yet. I can't comment on exactly what it was but I put about a 2" slice straight through the inner rear. Tire had 400 miles on it when this happened, I figured since it was a sidewall issue that I would be at the store buying a new tire on my own dime. Well I called Goodyear customer service and explained what happened, told them I just purchased the tires, the sidewall had a puncture of approx. 2 inches and surprisingly, the rep I was speaking with offered to cover 50% of the replacement tire for me sight unseen. She put me on hold, called my local Discount Tire and authorized 50% of the bill to be charged directly to Goodyear when I came in for my replacement.
Ultimately, it sucks have a tire issue after 400 miles BUT I do have to commend Goodyear on customer service, whole thing was taken care of in a 10 minute phone call and I honestly expected them to tell me tough luck when they heard it was a sidewall puncture on a truck/aggressive AT tire.
In the end, they provided excellent service, the tire stuck like glue to everything I went through and also provided an excellent ride on the street.
