Default Re: Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac

If I had to have a complaint with the tires, it is when tey get close to the wear bar, they go really fast. My rears were on the front w/ a bad alignment for almost 6 months (I wasnt driving it) and it chewed up the centers, rotated em to the back and have been fine since, but I noticed that they were about 1/4" above the wear bar, and in the last 3 months, they have worn down pretty fast. All that said, I do take em off road a good bit and beat on em pretty hard, but the fronts aren't wearing nearly as fast. I'll probably buy another set once these finally are worn out, but I'm not super happy with how they wore under the conditions they were in.
Still all in all 9.5/10

I should note that I have put about 20k on the tires since they were installed, and the ones that were spared the poor alignment abuse, still have a long road ahead of them (75% tread left anyway). The rears (the ones that were scrubbed to death) still have about 5/16th left on em and will probably be okay until winter.
