goodyear wranglers on 2019 f350. Are these any good
2019 f350 are these tires good in snow. Planning on pulling our13000 lb 5th wheel from Saskatchewan to Arizona and would like to know what peeps think of these tires
I had them years ago on a plow truck. Hated them. Traction was lousy. Not enough space between the lugs and no siping (that i recall). The Duratracs are great in snow though. Have a studded set on my current plow truck

Dry conditions I think they are pretty good. Nice, quiet tire with good handling. I used them a bit in the snow last week and they were just OK. They did better with all four tires chained up.
In my opinion Goodyear Light truck tires are not very good for anything other than a grocery getter and even then, plan on keeping a good spare on board. With that said all tires are continuously evolving and the tires being manufactured today may be great tires.
I had the Wrangler Duratracs on my F350 Dually and I thought they worked great in general, particularly good in the snow (have siping on them). They are a bit more aggressive looking than the regular wranglers though. They're also a studdable tire.
+1 on the Duratracs I have them on my F350 as well and find them to be outstanding in the snow. I tow a 9K toy hauler and they do fine with that as well.
I have the duratracs on my 2011 f350 and they have performed well both on the road and off as well in snow. The only thing I don't like about them is the steering response is mushy in my opinion. I had to run the fronts harder then they needed (more air) and now after 34000 miles they need to be replaced. After a while I got used to them with no other driving issues. I do pull a 36' 5th wheel toybox.
No snow with them but only 20k and I might be lucky to get 30k out of them. In a hard turn, they get LOUD. Not impressed for SoCal usage. Will go to Mich Defenders when they run out....
Mine has the Goodyear "Kevlar", I think they've been excellent. 1 week after I purchased my truck last January, we headed down to Cumbarland, Ky from Cincinnati for the weekend in a snow storm There was a good 2 to 3" on 75 south most of the way and I never felt the need to engage 4wd. It wasn't until we got the the cabin I had to use 4wd and that's because it was a steep driveway going up to the cabin.
Back in 2010, I got upset at Goodyear and I have not bought a Goodyear tire since. I had the Goodyear Wranglers ( with Kevlar) on my 2006 F350.
I had one tire fail in July heat while towing. They would not replace the tire saying I must have hit something and it was Road Hazard. Two weeks later the exact same bubble appeared on the opposite side tire.
The Goodyears just were not holding up under July 100° heat while towing a GN horse trailer. I was not over loaded. Totally within my ratings, I've never had problems with other brands of tires pulling the same trailer. ( Conti's before the Goodyears and Toyo's after. And a 250,000 miles on my 6.7L trucks with Michelin and Toyo tires,)
Tires had 16,000 miles on them, and two failed in two weeks. So off they came and I put Toyo ATs on they have performed well for me,
With only 26,000 miles on the clock I don’t think my trucks first set (Goodyear wrangler A/Ts) should have worn so fast very disappointed , they worked well when they were new in mud and snow sand all sorts of terrain but now they are on offer up $50 lol Replaced than with toyo mt 35x12.5r18 on stock rims
I have had great luck with the GY Wrangler Kevlar At's. They key really seems to be 5K tire rotations or longevity. Rain, snow and mild off-road that have never let me down.
