New tires for my truck?

zr600 · Dec 3, 2010

I want a tire that is more aggressive than an at. I have had bfg atkos and procomp at and like the snowpacked and ice traction but would like a more aggressive tire like the nitto trail grappler mt but don't want to loose the traction on snow/ice packed roads. Would the mt handle it or not? What about having the mt sipped? Im not stuck on one mt tire yet so give your guys views of what you have run and experienced.

I do not know what you should get, but those BFG A/T KO's have got me out of trouble more that a couple times. And they don't kill me when I am forced to put on highway time. Thumbs up to this tire. Also, Toyo Open Country M/T is a sick tire as well.

The Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac is an awesome tire in the snow & ice. It does very well in the mud and you don't have to listen to them going down the highway. I have ran the Toyo MT's and many other tires, the Duratracs are my favorite, especially on the snowpacked roads.

What kind of truck do you have the good year duratracs on? I have heard on a heavy truck that the sidewalls seem to have a lot of flex almost scary, in the reviews some guys are saying they noticed it and it was to much and got different tires, and some other guys didn't notice it. This was all pretty much on 3/4ton diesels which is what i would be putting them on.

i used to work at a tire shop look at a mt that has holes so you can either stud them. scyping sucks because the m/t's wear very quick. look at mickey tompson baja atz. i run yoko geolanders an they are a good mileage fairly good winter tire. think in the long run mts suck

I got the Duratracs on my 06 dodge 2500 cummins and there awsome, they completly solved my handling and death wobble issues, there quiet on the highway, awsome in the snow and are wearing great. I would recomend these to anyone.:face-icon-small-hap

I have ran the Duratracs on a 07 3/4 gmc crew cab short bed duramax and I now have them on a 2010 dodge 3500 crew cab long bed cummins. I run 275/70/18's on both trucks and have never had any problems with sidewall roll or anything. I pull a 38' raptor toy hauler in the summer with no trouble what so ever. I get between 35-40k miles out of the tires and I drive really aggressive. Best tire in my opinion. My last set of toyo MT's were siped, there were worthless on the ice.

I've been a faithful BFG AT KO owner since 1994 and the last set wore so quick that BFG warrantied them for me 1 year to the day. These new ones are as bad as the ones they warrantied so I think I'm done with BFG. They claim they haven't changed anything but SOMETHING had to change. 12 sets and the last 2 sets wore out in 20,000 miles. The only thing that is different is that these are E rated on a 08 Crew HD and I have to run the tire pressure high enough so the stupid idiot lights don't come on. Wish I knew what the issue was because they perform so well.

I've never been a fan of Goodyear because they are soft compound and wear quickly.

My buddy was just here last week and had the DuraTrac GY tires on his Duramax. He was pulling a enclosed 4 place empty in 25-30 winds and said the roll was horrible. Said he would either get use to it or sell them it was that bad.

So............my question to you guys running this tire, what kind of mileage are you getting out of them?

check out( maxtread tires of stemboatsprings),on facebook,its worth a look.

I think these are basically the "new" BFG A/T KO ....

I've been running them on my work truck and they've been great, I haven't heard a bad thing about them from anyone who has bought a set either.

I think I'll have a set of those studded for next winter

Nothing will touch wrangler duratracs in this case.
More aggressive than an AT but no downfall of the MT's.

Been running them for nearly 3 years. There's about 20 of us here in Utah rocking them.

Trucks from everyday work powerstrokes, Toyota tacomas, and land rovers

lol, yeah just shy of 700 studs in each tire...have done as many as 1250 per..but its overkill on the road..I drive in some of the nastiest /crappiest roads you would ever dream of..so total traction is a must for me.. these give you the stopping/turning/going traction about the same as wet pavement even when its like a hotmopped ice rink outside...

Are those Duratracs a snowflake rated tires does anyone know?

Havingfun · Dec 4, 2010

The Duratracs do have the snowflake rating.
