Hi there - I am on my second set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. Size is 255/55/19 - the stock size tire for the 19” wheels from Land Rover.
I went with the duratracs because I wanted a beefy, off-road look (and performance), and there are very, very few rugged looking tires in this size. As one of the other posters said, most folks drop to the 18” wheel so they have access to a dozen+ rugged tires.
That said, I’m on my second set of duratracs, after going through the original continentals that came on the truck. I’m getting something like 40,000 -55,000 miles out of them. I don’t track it super closely, but my sense is they are lasting a little less than I would like, but not horribly so.
The biggest dings I hear for these tires is the lack of strong sidewall protection compared to other models. Seems like other tires are available with more layers or stronger layers in their sidewalls and or in the body of the tire. Obviously better for rocks and other off road hazards.
For me - doing camping and moderate off-road trails in blm land and lots of road driving these have been just great. Not too noisy, great off-road performance in sand/gravel and snow.
If money were no object I would drop down to 18” wheels (maybe steel wheels from Lucky 8 for the budget buy or the nicer Compomotives) and get something like the BF Goodrich AT KO2. I had two sets of those tires on my previous Hummer H2 and couldn’t have been happier with them. 55-60,000 miles, quiet ride, and great rugged look.
If you don’t want to mess with running the lift rods on your rover full time and making accommodations for tire clearance should your air suspension drop to access height unexpectedly then your choices are really pick from the 2 or 3 19” tires that have a rugged look, or drop to the 18” wheel and have access to a large assortment.
I’ve been very happy with the Goodyear duratracs on the 19”, but I sure would like some more sidewalk height, so as I suggested above, if you can get to the 18” wheels BEFORE you buy tour next set of tires and put another 50,000 miles on your truck I think you would be happier.
Please let us all know what you do!
