Bull shit i owned a set for three years never had an issue driving in the rain up here in the mountains of upstate New York the duratracs did awesome in rain , mud, snow and ice. Also its pretty good in sand and rocks or gravel so its the driver not tire!

That doesn't match my experience or 100s of comments I've seen over the years in the Tacoma community. Your tires look pretty bald.

I really appreciate all the updates you give! I have been eyeing these tires now for a little while now but I definitely know now that these are not for me!

I had the exact same experience on my Rebel. Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT now and couldn't be happier

I've had the LT ko2s and currently the LT duratracs, both didnt have major issues in the rain but the duratrac was actually better gripping and inspired more confidence in my experience.

What tires with no tread left does good in the rain?

Duratrac is better than the KO2 in the rain!

They are not dangerous in the rain. LOL Never experienced a single issue on wet roads. Slow the hell down and drive for the conditions. It's not a street tire!

Yep, mine lose traction in even the most mild rain. I will be going back to my Falken Wildpeaks soon.

I remember running these and trying to brake on a wet road and I literally slid like I was on ice. It was legitimately scary and I didn’t know what to think after that.

My finding is they were great in rain.

Thank you for the info! God Bless!!!

I had a set on my 2D JK. I thought they were great in rain and slush. Better than stock wranglers anyways. Plan on getting another set for my sierra. I guess opinions can vary. Thanks for the review.

Are OE tires rated the same as aftermarket? 3peak rated? Wonder if there is any differ in compound between OE and Aftermarket. I'm looking for an American made tire for my f150 but need good wet pavement and off-road. Might have to go towards cooper, but they don't have 3peak snow rating in my size.

I’ve had 2 sets, on a Chevy 3500 dually and a Chevy 2500 driving across the country in all kinds of different weather and never experienced anything in the rain that you are talking about. Never hydroplaned, never slid and I’ve tried roasting them in the rain. Had too much traction. Also on the highway I put 40,000 miles on and were barely used at that point. Best A/T tire I’ve ever owned

Just put Falken Wildpeak AT Trails on my wife’s suv. Hope they do well in Pittsburgh winters. Inexpensive but triple peak rated. Heard good things about them. It’s a crapshoot anymore unless you have a stack of cash.

Yep” I have the same issue with a Hemi with the 3.92 gears. At the stop light taking off on wet roads, they slips real bad!

I've been using Yokohama last 8 years, really decent inexpensive AT tires. My new 2500 has the Goodyear's too, haven't been in the rain yet but they took me up a loose gravel hill the other day that probably gave some tires fits

Thanks for the informative video. I was really considering this tire but 2nd guessing it now. We don’t get a ton of rain where I’m at but when we do it’s usually full of oils and junk that make it slick. Maybe I’ll go in the direction of the Falken Wildpeak at3w.

I’ll stick with my ko2’s here in the wet Pacific Northwest. They haven’t let me down yet

I bought a set for my plow truck, f150 with a western enforcer v plow, they are unmatched in the deep snow on top of ice so far but only have 1k miles on them.

Would you say the BFG KO2 perform better on wet roads and in snow/ice conditions?

Ok. You are running a wide tire on a very light jeep. Now on a half ton dodge. I have just bought my 5th set of these in 285/70-17. And I love them, I've had them all and bfg are great also but if you need a lil more off road duratrac is the one. Now. My guess is you got LT tires, probably E rated and the guy at shop put 80 psi if your not hauling big wight then drop them down. I run 55 in front and 40 in rear on 2003 gmc 2500 duramax and go from Seattle "rainy" as hell to Montana every year and they are best all around tire I've ever drivin

Mine were slippery on wet roads, and almost wrecked my 2019 Ram Rebel

I live in a place that rains 6 months out of the year, never had issues with the duratrac on a heavy chevy 2500 silverado set up for towing. Guess it all comes down to personal preference.

I encountered the same a few weeks ago when it was raining. We don't get much snow in Dallas but we do get rain and occasionally ice. I'm currently researching a better option for that mix. Thanks for the advisement!

Question.. Had it been a while since it rained? I live in Portland, we have eight months of rain a year, sometimes more. If we go for a month without rain, the first rain leaves the roads very slippery and slick, it’s extremely noticeable, due to the oils and dust or dirt getting ‘washed off’ the roads.. that had built up. Just asking and wondering if that could have anything to do with it. Thanks.

81k miles now on my rebel, and yes, I can confirm how bad these tires are in the rain, less grip becareful back will fish tail

Have falken wild peak AT3 super great tires specially in the rain have them on my 15 frontier. Really good off road

I got 80,000 miles from mine. Might be a harder rubber compound

Weird ive had them (285/70/17) for a couple months on my New Frontier Pro4X no issues even in a rain storm in 2wd no studs

I had the Goodyear “Adventurer” AT tire on my Jeep and man they Hydroplaned really badly .. i had to take them off and replace them they were so dangerous ..

You are right on those tires and it didn’t change much on the compound for the past 25 years. Before they where called dura tracks they just plain old Goodyear wranglers. I had both in my 1998 Dodge Ram 4x2 and my 2003 Jeep Liberty 4x4 and in the wet slop, and rain they were horrible dry and warm pavement not bad,off road was marginal ok and winter here in Ontario Canada hard as a hockey puck. Lots of threads left . After three years I got rid of them and did my research at that time I got both Toyo open country AT and they where the cat’s meow back then. Great traction on all three weather conditions.right now on my 04 Tahoe I have general grabbers at with the snow flake and three peak mountain on it(softer compound) and it’s really good with no complaints. Now these days you have todo your research on tires that best suits your needs on temperature,load and weight of vehicle for best performance and longevity on your driving habits and safety.

It's been a year since, hope you replaced these with something else. Goodyear and Discount tire will exchange these for another brand up to 30days if unhappy.(so they say). Put 2000mi on mine, noticed slippage on wet surfaces. Also noticed my mpg decreased with these tires. Not sure what to do. Did you trade the Duratracs for another tire brand ??

Not my experience with this tire. Had great luck with them ( never had factory supplied set though).

I have DuraTracs (2d set) on my F250, and I put a few hundred pounds of sandbags in the back during the winter to keep the back from sliding around. You're right - they're not great on ice either, and my theory is that the siping is shallow, and once gone they lose traction on slippery surfaces. Could be the rubber compound too as you say.

My Tacoma just came with a set and I want to sell off and buy k02s

Your tires are literally bald.

It just happened to me in the rain. I was trying to stop at an intersection and the anti-lock brakes kicked in. terrifying.

Your tires are bald

Go with the nitto exo grappler if you need a tire with the 3 peak snowflake rating. It is one of the best all around tires on the market.
