The Goodyear Workhorse performs great in less deeper snow, (as in snow on roads). On Snow:īoth these tires are are “M+S” and “3 Peak Mountain Snowflake (3MPSF)” rated and they truly deserve it.īut is there any difference between their performance values? These ridges also interconnect with the central blocks creating a web which traps the mud very easily.Īnd since mud to mud contact loses traction, the tire gets stuck very easily, in comparison. These wide spacing combined with wilder circumferential rings of the tire make a clear path for mud to pass through. Can they handle Mud?ĭespite DuraTrac’s being marketed as All Terrain, some people still consider them mud terrain tires, because of their wide spacing between the shoulder blocks. Well, not really, if comfort is something on the top of your list, as these tires are very loud and they tend to get louder with wear.Īlso expect these tires to consume almost 15% more of your fuel as well (compared to normal on road tires). Note: It’s not recommended that you drive the Goodyear Workhorse (in wet conditions) with traction controls off. On the other side, it was surprising to see how good DuraTrac was here, with better overall handling times and grip.Īnd although this tire really pulls of the steering wheel, it still more responsive in comparison.Īnd unlike the Workhorse AT, this tire would not overpower the front end side as much, so you feel more in control. The tire gives limited feedback and you have to be very careful with them (not to over-brake), as they would slide very easily and it also takes a long time to recover form it, so you wait for understeer to finish, before you get your vehicle back in control. So this means, the steering response of the tire is very confusing. The tire’s lateral traction does not communicate too well with it’s circumferential one. Looking at the tread pattern of both, tires, it would seem that the DuraTrac with it’s wider grooves would lack behind with its smaller footprint, but things are very different.īoth tires show almost equal pavement performances with not much difference in braking distances and handling times.īut the Workhorse AT really disappointed on wet roads. These lugs grab and pull in a much better way during flexing sidewalls.
