Q. Are Goodyear Fortera HL tires directional?
Stylish Appearance The innovative sidewall design and sporty-looking directional wraparound tread pattern help enhance the look and style of your vehicle.
Q. What is the difference between AT and HT tires?
Noise. Off-road oriented A/T tires tend to have large, square tread blocks. As they contact the road, these tread blocks emit a certain amount of vibration that manifests as a high-pitched hum or drone. H/T tires have chevron or back-angled tread blocks that help to reduce the acoustic effects of tire contact.
Q. Are HT tires good in snow?
This all-season tire blends the versatile performance you need with the sleekness you want. The Dueler H/T tire’s tread blocks and tread compound deliver all-season traction for wet and dry weather, and even light snow. The tread blocks promote solid braking and handling.

Q. Is there a recall on Goodyear tires?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has not announced a recall on Goodyear Wrangler tires since early 2012. The organization issued a recall then because of the risk of tread separation. However, a tire recall is not a necessary component of a defective tire claim.
Q. When should I replace my Goodyear Duratrac tires?
Goodyear suggests checking your tire tread depth every 3,000 mi. (5,000 km) or once it reaches 4/32 inches deep. If your tread depth reads 2/32 inches of less, it’s time to replace your tires.
Q. What does a 60000 mile tire warranty mean?
Most tread-life warranties will not replace a prematurely worn out tire at no cost. Let’s say you bought a tire with a 60,000 mile warranty and it wore out at 40,000 miles. That means you used 70% of the warranty mileage (40,000 ÷ 60,000 = . 70).
Q. What happens if you put directional tires on backwards?
On directional tires, there’s an arrow on the sidewall of the tires — when correctly mounted, the arrow points toward the front of the vehicle. If directional tires get mounted backward, you won’t get the hydroplaning resistance and other performance driving benefits the tread is designed for.
Q. What is a symmetrical tire?
A symmetric tread pattern is one in which the inner and outer halves of the tire are equal, or symmetrical. The same tread pattern (grooves and blocks) is present on both sides of the tire. An asymmetric tread pattern is, of course, the opposite.
