I just sent an email to Goodyear, we'll see what they say.


Edit, heard back fast. DuraTrac's have a 2ply sidewall and the MTR with Kevlar have goodyears patented reinforced sidewall -the Durawall.

Those Duratracs do look nice. They seem as if they would perform quite well as a winter tire. I may have to consider these for ice and snow. Any ideas on winter performance and availability in a 37"?

They are well siped so they should handle winter conditions pretty well. It doesn't look like a 37" tire is in the mix.
Here are the DuraTrac projected ship dates:

We do not have the weights but we can certainly call up and check. Was there a certain size you wanted to check weight on?
