Goodyear Duratracs vs Territory M/T

[2008basanti]

Hello everyone,

I need some new 35s on my wrangler before winter and I had the duratracs on it for around 5 years and they’ve been good but I found 2 almost new sets of tires one being the duratracs and one the territory’s on marketplace and was wondering which you would choose. The territory’s are at 11/32 for 650$ and 20 minutes away from me. The duratracs are 2 hours away at 1200$ and only driven about 5000km. As a student I don’t want to pay the full 2000$ for a set.

It will probably depend on what conditions you will encounter. I don't think either will be bad, per se, but this would be a consideration:

"The Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rated, meaning it does not meet severe snow service standards, and a separate, true winter tire is recommended for serious winter conditions."

FWIW, I drove a 2021 Chevrolet 1500 Trail Boss pickup the other day with a set of Territorys on it. It was the loudest, most annoying tire noise I've ever heard. And this is a relatively new pickup truck, far more insulated and noise deadening than a Jeep. I can't imagine the noise in a Jeep cabin with those.

Oh, and the Trail Boss is nothing to write home about. The ride is not a lot different than my JKU, just a bigger vehicle. Not impressed in the least.

All chevy's are that way. It takes me 5 days in a ford to recover from 1 day in a chevy, plus the stigma and loss of dignity. I already have a problem with self worth, so I tend to stick to fords.

My wife has a 22 Chevy Tahoe Z71 that is one of the most comfortable, quiet and best riding vehicles I've ever driven. Aside from the brand new Yukon Denali we rented and drove around Yellowstone a few weeks back...
I've had 2 other Tahoes and an Expedition... the Expedition was the one that sh** the bed while still under warranty and I ended up selling it on ebay after it took 2 months to fix and I couldn't trust it.

I was kinda kidding. I have not had a chevy since 1989, a camaro. We have always had Fords since that experience, so My knowledge of how they perform in the last few decades is nil. In our field, the workers drive Fords and the boss drives a chevy.
