2 GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP ALL WEATHER
A unique off-road tire capable of adapting its characteristics to different conditions. This feature of tires is provided by SmartTRED technology.

A fairly deep tread pattern provides confident operation for 60,000 km, but if necessary, it will be possible to ride it another 20-30 thousand, depending on the driving style. Despite the frightening, aggressive pattern of the wheel's working surface, the rubber is very comfortable to use and does not make noise when driving on asphalt.
There are many positive ratings in the reviews.Owners of the GoodYear Wrangler Duratrac like their cross-country ability - on these tires, the car is able to overcome any off-road, and if the tire pressure is lowered, then sandy, mud and other heavy road sections will cease to be an obstacle (this is especially true for wheels with sizes R17 - R18 and above) ... The lamellas provide satisfactory grip on ice, but if the operation takes place in regions with harsh winters, it is better to save this rubber for muddy roads.
