Goodyear is marking 125 years in the automotive tyre business in 2023, and to celebrate, the company has just launched a new tyre for 4x4s and off-roaders, the Wrangler DuraTrac RT.

Benchmarked against the previous Wrangler DuraTrac through internal testing, the new Wrangler DuraTrac RT boasts a 10 per cent improvement in both wet and dry handling, along with even better off-road performance in mud and sand.

It features light-truck construction across every available size, so the tyre carcass is more robust than before. Wraparound gum strips help improve the bond between the steel belts and the tyre compound, creating a greater connection to the tread blocks.

“The Wrangler DuraTrac RT is a product tailored to fulfil the demands of true off-road enthusiasts, a growing consumer interest across the Asia-Pacific market,” said Greg Hanna, Vice President, Product Development & Quality, Goodyear Asia-Pacific.

“The tyre’s exceptional performance in durability, traction, and its ability to handle challenging terrain, perfectly represents Goodyear’s illustration of the spirit of exploration.”

We sampled the new Wrangler DuraTrac RT at its recent Singapore launch and were suitably impressed, even though we only had a short time driving on the tyre.

Goodyear’s slogan for the Wrangler DuraTrac RT is “Go Explore”, and with that in mind, the tyre has a design suitable for being taken off-road and on adventures in rugged terrain. You can bet that is exactly what we will be doing once the tyre lands on our shores.
