For 255-55-19, Camskill are showing them out of stock, but £168.50 + £2.99 delivery and then you'd have to get them fiited etc.

So I reckon they'll be priced from about £170 upwards. IIRC, they were well over £200 from some sources when the first batch was for sale in the UK.

Could you not use an old hair drier element on some MTR's to stick the zig-zag groves in like these and have near enough the same tyres or stick some more groves in as im guessing having 2-3 grove sets per block is what gives the grip and breaks the stuff up?!?

Correction to this post , these now "DO NOT" have the mountain and snowflake on the sidewall.

So if anyone who has ordered want's to change their mind, no problem.

They still work in snow, but aren't a proper winter tyre then?
Is that basically what the mountain and snowflake means.

Yes, they will work better IMHO in snow than the General AT. Thumbs Up

We have found a little snowflake in serveral places around the sidewall very close to the tread, still waiting for Goodyear to answer my question.

Just fitted five to a forum members G4 D3, they balance very well and have 13mm tread depth.

so this bit from their website is now not correct then?

"Tough grip in deep mud and snow

Take on challenging terrain thanks to TractiveGroove Technology, which delivers enhanced traction on mud and snow. The Wrangler DuraTrac is designated with the Mountain Snowflake symbol for winter use. "

That is the very question I am waiting on.

Not that I think it will cause any lost sleep.

I wont be losing sleep, main concern is on road manner's and grip in muddy or wet off road conditions as ive been in too many shallow (and not shallow) ditches while doing trails for my liking. Laughing Rolling Eyes

Also how many miles i can get before buying a new set. AT tyres seem to gof ro 35-50k so a mid point will see me happy.

Andy you have a pm, and i've an email to forward to you as well.

Duratracs fitted this morning. 30 miles of M25 later and I think they might be slightly louder than the GG ATs but if they are it's only a tiny little bit so. Could also be my hearing 'cos I AM getting older you know! Or so the kids keep reminding me Very Happy They look 8) I will find out how they perform off road on Sunday - I'll be sure to let you know Thumbs Up
