Today I review the Goodyear Wranger Duratrac All-Terrain Tires and talk about why these specific tired on my Toyota Tacoma TRD off road are very loud. these tires have alot of road noise unfortunately but it's most likely due to installing the wrong load range of tire on such a light truck! I expain why this is most likely the cause of these tires being so loud with lots of road noise.
I hope everyone is having a good week! I'm back with my good friend's 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD off road and I wanted to talk about his tires on the truck. the Goodyear wrangler Duratracs. they are awesome all-terrain tires, great in the snow and ice as well as mud, sand and rock. a truly great all-terrain tire and that's why ALOT of people run these tires in Canada because they perform well in all seasons. I know most people who run durtracs simply as snow tires in the winter because they are so good in the snow. and that's what separates them from the rest is there snow and ice performance.
most All-Terrain tires perform well in mud and sand but these tires perform in almost any condition which is what makes them great. But, there are some drawbacks to this.
these tires are very pricey. Duratracs are usually one of the most expensive all-terrain tire on the market because they are so capable. but still it always hurts paying the extra cost for having these tires.
the other downside is potential road noise. these wrangler duratracs have a but of a reputation for having bad road noise once they start to wear. and that is what we are talking about today.
So this Tacoma with the Wrangler duractracs has very loud road noise. as you guys saw in the video there is really back tire feathering happening and this was most likely not the actual tires fault. the real issue is most likely the fact that these tires are load range E rated and are therefore really stiff tires. the other issue is that E rated tires are meant to be inflated at high PSI and well the Tacoma is not meant for that.
So when these tires were installed the PSI was set over 20 PSI the recommended rate and most likely help contribute to this issue.
so the lesson here is make sure you buy tires meant for your truck!
