Goodyear’s DuraTrac chosen as best off-road tyre by Off Road magazine

For the second year in a row, Goodyear’s Wrangler DuraTrac tyre has been chosen as the best off-road tyre by readers of the specialized German magazine Off Road. It won in the category “Traction Tyres,” in which readers were invited to vote for one of 10 candidates. 

Over 63,000 readers participated in the voting for the Off Road Award for 2014. About one-third of the votes went to the Goodyear tire, which was developed for use on tough terrain.

Ram recently chose to equip the 2014 Power Wagon with Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac. The tyre was originally developed and is currently produced in the United States. It is also manufactured at the Fulda tire plant in Germany in order to satisfy European manufacturers’ demand for varying tire dimensions.

The Off Road Award has been given out since 1982 and allows readers to select the best off-road vehicles in 13 categories and also choose the best traction tyre. Alexis Bortoluzi, Brand & Strategy Director for Goodyear EMEA said: “We are thrilled to have been selected once again as best off-road tire by this prestigious magazine. The beauty of this award is that it is voted for by drivers of off–road vehicles. They are experienced in what works on their vehicle and know the type of performance they require. This award is a testament to the performance of the DuraTrac product from the people who use it.
