You can actually create your own poll chuck. It's one of the options just below where you hit the "submit" button when creating the first post on a new thread.

I seem to calling on deaf ears & they keep telling me their marketing department says there is not a market for them.
These tyres are getting good reports out of both Europe & Africa.
At least they are another AT alternative in 255 55 19.
They are what Landrover fitted to the D4 cars that went to Russia & China to celebrate a 1,000,000 Discoveries.

Any chance the administrators could set up a poll to try and get Goodyear to take notice.

You could always import them from the US, although how much you would save is a mute point as the tyre is not available here to compare prices.

Ive seen them on a couple of US online tyre sites & think for memory they were more expensive than either grabbers or the Cooper Zeon.

I want these tyres. Not now as my Wranglers have only done 22k but I will want them in the future. I'm old school (= cheap and don't get rid of tyres until theyre are worn out no matter how useless they are) and will be very interested in joining a group buy request to get them in through the front door or the back door.

While these tyres look more aggressive than the Zeons, for example, they are still passenger construction albeit with xtra load, same as Zeons. They are not LT construction. Not sure how much better they will be than Zeons...

I have 19" Zeons but haven't been that impressed with two sidewall punctures in two tyres over the last few months. I do lower much more than I should I suspect at 24psi for rock crawling so will be trying at Gordon's recommended 32 minimum going forward and guage how far I can advance.

Just my tuppence worth.

Count me in duratracs would be high on my list if available. As far as I csn tell current options are in order of my preference happy to dee others. Maybe I should start a poll of like and dislike for this set.

Hankook dynapro atm
Pirelli scorpion atr
General grabber at
Wrangler mtr probably a step to far though

Cooper zeon ltz I have low faith in these not based on any personal experience though seems to be a mixed bag some have good experience others diabolical I dont know which one I would fall into.

I think those are all the At options any others to consider.

Looks like some posts vanished.

I can't find the 255/55R19 duratrac on any of the US sites. Not even Goodyear. It appears to be a european only size, makes you wonder where it's made.

In contrast the 215/85R16 duratracs I've got were made in the USA and not sold outside the US/Canada.

Tirerack used to list the original pattern MTR in this size but I've not seen Duractracs listed there in this size.

Anyone tried these. Local tyre guys can do these for around $400 a corner, still toying with the idea of the GOE 18s or some aggressive 19s.
