Goodyear Duratrac's have a nice following around here.

Duratracks are all set up for studs as well...

I have 37,000 on my duratracks and they are doing great! Next fall I will have this set studded and use them for snow tires for a few winters.

Absolutly the best AT tire I've owned.. and the longest lasting tire of any kind. They are in really good shape for the number of miles on them!

I need a tire that I can use year round but it has to have the snowflake or mountain on it for winter cause of Quebec laws. Do these tires have this and will tey last me if I'm runnin them year round? I have been looking at the duratrac's and just wanted to make sure they cover what I'm looking for.

I'm from Montreal and I use GY DT also, in 35" with studs due to the icy winters we have here. You can't go wrong with them!

Love my Nitto Trail Grappler's also. Best tire I have tried so far. My friend has the Duratac's and he is very happy with them.

That mountain with a snowflake in the center you speak of is a severe snow and ice approved stamp. Duratracs are approved as well as Bfgoodrich AT's

Duratracs for sure. We got hit by that snow storm hard on Tuesday in Michigan and I had absolutely no problems getting around. I've driven around Quebec quite a bit over rhe years. I know how bad it can get and you definitely won't be upset with their performance.
