Meh only for the people with a flat looking for a matching replacement. Its not like there are not a ton of comparable products on the market.

Super popular in OFFROAD forums. Count the number of sedans, minivans, mom-SUVs, etc you see on a daily basis, all running street tires. Compare that number to the amount of offroad vehicles you see on a daily basis. Then, realize that Goodyear is a huge, worldwide company and you'll see why they are limited production tires. The MT/RK are the same way. They probably just re-tool the same manufacturing line for each of those two tires...

I was considering these and BFG AT in November (Black Friday). I went to Sears because of a deal with 0% for a year. They were out of production back then too so I went with the BFG.

That would suck to ruin one on a trail and then have to buy something else that doesn't match to use for a spare. I consider their production issues a major reason to not consider these tires.

I was one of the first people on here to get Duratracs back in 2009, loved them on and off road. Now I have 35s Duratracs on my 2012 - sucks for my tire replacement warranty I bought!!!

I just bought 5 Duratracs from a small town tire shop in Kansas last week. They were not in stock, but had them in a couple days. Now, I just hope I don't ruin any for the next year or so.
