The 275/65R20 GMC Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac are used in work trucks, and plow trucks are especially popular in the former. Everybody wears these things because they are quite impressive both off-road and on-road.

You can see they have those big chunky blocks of the tread on the side and then in the middle, it’s a little closer and it’s a smaller block of the tread. But there is still a lot of space there for the evacuation of not only water, but also gravel, mud rocks, etc. And by having them closer together in the center, you get a little more mileage out of these. So, depending on the sizes, they have a fifty-thousand-mile warranty. So that’s something you’ll want to investigate.

When it comes to driving in the snow, we can tell you first hand that these things are pretty impressive, just in the tread pattern alone, you will see that there are a ton of zigzag snipers. And basically, what it does is it collects snow and locks it in those little sections so you don’t turn it into a stain, but you get better acceleration and better braking by having all this extra writing there.

So, if you are looking for a tire with an off-road appearance and good performance both on the road and in difficult terrain such as snow, we recommend the Wrangler Duratrac.

We will tell you why the Grappler model is so popular. For starters, it combines the best of both worlds, between its  mud tires and its off-road tires.

Now, the Ridge Grappler itself is actually built on an all-terrain platform, whereas you have other ultra or hybrid tires, it is built on the mud tire platform, so the 275/65R20 Nitto Ridge Grappler in this GMC  is kind of giving you the best of both worlds between that mud and the all-terrain.

You could get good on road performance, they’re not too loud. But then if you want to take this thing off road on the weekends, you can definitely do that.

Because it’s a harder compound and they’re not these massive lugs, you have a pretty smooth, pretty stable on road experience with the tires. But there’s still a large enough that if you take them off road in any kind of low traction environment, they still do just fine because there’s plenty of separation there.

No complaints with them. Good in the dry, good in the wet and actually pretty decent in the snow, too, because it’s again just the hybrid tire that’s good for a little bit of everything.

Another added bonus of these tires is that they’re actually manufactured right here in the United States and actually you could get a chance to tour the factory in white Georgia. So, it’s one of those tires that it’s American made.
