Couldn't agree more! And thanks for liking the video.

Great point! Tire noise can definitely become an issue as tread wears down, especially with more aggressive patterns. Both the Goodyear DuraTrac RT and the BF Goodrich KO3 have designs aimed at reducing noise, but as they wear, you might still notice an increase. Mud Terrains are indeed notorious for this, so it's something to keep in mind!

Thanks for your feedback we've fixed this issue in our latest videos.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's always helpful to hear real-world feedback. Longevity is a crucial factor, and it's good to know the General Grabber ATX worked well for you.

Objectively you're wrong. They've worked great for thousands of people. There is a reason they are a top competitor in the AT category.

How so?

Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience with Falken. It's interesting how tire performance can vary so much depending on the use case. What issues did you run into with them?

It's tough when a product doesn't meet expectations. Tires can be hit or miss depending on usage and driving conditions. What issues did you encounter with the BF Goodrich?

@@comparethetire many punctures driving in the bush. I live in northern ontario canada.

@@stevelevesque3274 Oh okay, sorry to hear that.

So soon🤦‍♂️🥴🤡

yeah 40 years is practically next day.

@@firebirdlover4460 KO2 came out in 2015, so just 9 years ago.

I completely agree! Both brands have a strong track record, and it's exciting to see the new improvements. The KO3 does seem to address many of the KO2's shortcomings, especially in wet conditions. Let's hope the changes make a noticeable difference!

I haven't heard any specific news about a new General Grabber AT3 for 2024 yet, but it's always worth keeping an eye out for updates from the manufacturer. They might surprise us!

Yes they do have a great longevity.

Well Mickey Thompson offers better snow performance in comparison.

@@comparethetire Thank you for this comment . Its helpful 🙏

Yes, they are pretty great when it comes to those 3 areas.

Yes, we published a video of their comparison too.

Kos have been improved significantly.

Ko2 basically uses a dual compound with harder layer of rubber beneath, that's why with wear they loose wet traction.

Yes really miss the stone ejectors on the KO3s.

@@comparethetire crazy how much difference they make

Yes I get that. Its a nice tire.

I understand where you're coming from.

Yes they are okay, but there's wasn't anything unique about them that could put them in the list.

Couldn't make it to the list. Sorry.

I've been using the baja boss a/ts for just over a year. no complaints

@@psybain Good to hear bud. Thanks for the input.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes I get that.

Still odd that its not even top 10. No way 10 a/t tires are better.

😂

Thanks 🤗

KO3

@@comparethetire have you compared the noise of Duratrac RT VS KO2?

What size and vehicle were you running?

Cooper AT3 XLT. You can also check out the Discoverer Road + Trail.

@@comparethetireAppreciate the response, I’ll check them out!

Thanks for sharing.

Yes we changed that.

STT Pro being a mud terrain tire provides much better off road traction over A/T tires.

@@comparethetire yes it does and the terrain I’m on is unforgiving. People always get stuck but my stt pro and Silverado get out with ease

Glad to hear that. Do share your experience with them here.

Yes, you can say that.

If wet performance is your concern, its better to get CrossClimate 2 over Defender 2. They of course being grand touring tires do better than standard touring.

Great point but may I add, it also depends highly on the load rating, and durability of the tire. Glad you like Toyo AT3.

Well if you're looking for aggressive sidewalls, you may want to consider Mickey Thompson A/T.

You rate tires based on appearance ? 😳

@kt3505 I can't comment my opinion of the APPEARANCE of the sidewalls??? Sheeeesh

@@Vodafone16v Well no if we are talking performance ;) , some of the ugliest girls make the best wives!

Yes its pretty durable, especially with sizes having DuraWall tech.

Sidewall failures were a huge issue with the OG Duratrac's. I ended up taking them off my trucks that came with the from the factory and swapping them with a higher ply rating Wildpeak.

@@egregiousblunder5395the new Duratracs have the Kevlar sidewall ply that Goodyear uses on some of its other tires, so it shouldnt be an issue now.

@@John_Redcorn_ it's interesting that there's no Kevlar marks on the side wall of this new Duratrac RT in AU market, which marks could be seen on the Duratrac RT in US market.

Sizes will continue to be released 2025 and 2026.

I hear ya. The comparison is based on the sizes available right now. We will update if anything changes in the future.

Kinda like how any new product is you mean ?

@kt3505 we are talking about tires. If you have almost no size available, then it's worthless. That's what we are talking about here, dummy.

If they have your size, it doesnt matter about the other sizes now does it?

Sure, if your comments get enough likes, we'd def do that.

My pleasure!

Same here. Older Elantra but loving them as a daily driver.

Yes they don't have exactly the same pattern as they wear down.

Yes, if you want to put it in a line.

But the Duratrac RT does better on wet and snowy roads so, in adverse conditions it’s the better on road tire too.

👍

I've had Duratracs on my last 3 trucks. Half ton.....I don't do E tires. Lite weight durable,I've never had a side puncture....but my offloading is mud,,sand and fields. Bit noisy on road,incredible traction in snow and ice till it wears down,then sucks. I resiped mine on 3rd winter.....huge difference. Mud....awesome. The rt has more siping.....winter traction will be even better. I stay stock size......275/60/20 The bfg doesn't appear to be available in that size......odd that the best selling half ton comes in that 20" size. I finally saw the rt's in person and pretty sure they r going on by winter.

@@rodjbosch Have you had duratrac or duratrac RT?

@MrRakp Ive run the old Duratracs on last 3 trucks Rt's will be going on in fall before winter hits.

@@rodjbosch Why go offroad with a 20" rim and a 275/60 profile tyre? That's just doing it wrong, all wheel and no tyre.

Actually I am a fan of all terrain tires.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for sharing Jeff.

Wow nice to hear.

Absolutely! While the aesthetic might differ from the lower-profile Pirelli, the Defender 2s are likely providing you with enhanced comfort and overall performance. It's great to hear they're performing well for you!

Depends on your usage, but generally they last great as they are standard touring tires. Defender 2 has better longevity btw off the two tires here.
