If you live at a place where one day it's sunny, next day there is a 10inch snowfall, the week after the grader passes and leaves rocks the size of baseballs into the road, next day the rain turns the road into a mudslide the Duratracs are the tires you need. Get the LT 10 ply ones. The guy at the shop wanted to sell me Nokians, first model was too agressive second one the spacing between the blocks were too narrow. I didn't want a tire that maybe was going to be out of production. I insisted on Duratracs. They are not too noisy. Didn't notice much MPG difference. In the rain water gets cleared away, unlike the Ko2's. Also I like that they are not directionnal. I can switch them sides. On packed glare ice they' re slippery. So watch your distance. They can be studded.

They are almost like the truest version of an "all-terrain" tire. Not going to be the absolute best tire in any situation but never going to let you down in any situation either. and it is pretty awesome that they can be studded if you do happen to drive on a lot of packed snow/icy roads.

Not bad tire in snow and ice but because I live in the sticks when the roads melt and turn to dirt again thats when shtf. 3 punctures in 7 months of use. And with Covid and the tire shops closed I did not find it funny last spring. Too bad no manufacturer seems to make an ice tire LT rated.

@toasteroverdrive10972 жыл бұрын
@@richardmcfadden3980 A regular tire is usually 4 ply and puncture easely with small pebbles or rocks. If it says LT before the size it means it's a ligth truck tire, usually 6 ply or more. The construction is beefier and can handle more weigth, like if you tow or have a camper. If you have a jeep or a pickup truck and plan to drive thru dirt and logging roads, having heavier duty tires is a good investment for safety. With the NON LT tires when I purchased my truck I had 4 punctures in 6 months and now with the duratracs sometimes i go over rocks and think the tire ligth will come on but no,it never did. Only thing to watch out is when its real cold and it's icy outside you need to slow down and keep your distance.

I’ve owned both K02 and Dura tracks. The fact is that the K02 has deeper sites that last much longer. The Dura tracks have shallow sipes that will become useless far more quickly. The Keio twos also have a softer side wall and provide a better and more compliant ride. The Dura tracks have A more aggressive lug on the outside of the running surface that make them better for rock and mud. Strictly as a winter tire, and then every day tire the K0 twos are better. I’m purchasing my second pair of Wrangler Dura tracks for my jeep gladiator because I will be doing more off-road.

Duratracs are probably my favorite all terrains. Also if your box is that packed full of snow I would just keep it in the truck unless you park in a garage cause it adds a bit of weight in the box which gives you a bit more traction on the rear end which in these 4th gen rams is the main weakness in winter cause the back end is so light thats where a lot of slipping tends to happen. However I run full on winter tires on my 4th gen and they do pretty damn good even with an empty box but they do still encounter slipping and spinning on ice. Honestly though if I didn't have winter tires I'd probably have duratracs

After you had to dig yourself out of the 3" of snow in your other video, you ran down to the tire shop and bought these duratracs. Good choice though. One thing you did not mention is the snow rating on these tires with the mountain snow flake, gets you out of carrying or using chains on some highways. They are a traction device, as is your 4x4 system. When chains or traction devices are required in some states like Oregon, these fall into that category.

My 2019 Chevy Colorado LT ( V6 4x4) had Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude all seasons from the factory. The factory tires were terrible all seasons for winter use and I really liked the look of the DuraTrac on the ZR2's. So I ended up getting a set of DuraTracs after doing some research on them for road noise and winter use applications because I live in Canada. Given these are my first set of All Terrain tires so I can't give a comparison to other brands. Traction review - I've had the DuraTracs in sand, snow/ice, and some mud but nothing to serious like deep mud. In the sand they performed great and I was able to get out of most situations without having to engage 4x4 which I find is a bonus (I always like a challenge to keep 4x4 as a last resort). In the snow I've found they are a good choice but on the ice not so much, most likely due to the sipes being limited from the knob spacing but most tires in general don't do well on ice so I can't say this is a con (using 4x4 does help though). Road use review - For road noise I was concerned about this before purchasing the DuraTracs.. The road noise isn't bad, the tires don't drowned out the radio/music or the traffic/ambient sounds. They are louder than a standard highway tire which is to be expected, I find at 40km/hr (25mph) you start to hear the tires and at 120-130km/hr (74-80mph) it gets really loud. I did notice a loss in MPG but it was like only 2 MPG difference which I find is negligible. I don't know how long these tires will last as they are my first set owned.. All in these tires are a great choice for an All Terrain tire and I know I will probably have a really hard choice to replace them with the same set or to try another brand when the tread life is worn out.

Appreciate the coverage. Yet it appears you have a 65 profile tire and I'm curious as to the ability to lower the tire pressure. I'm considering 235/85R16's for a larger diameter while keeping the weight lower, and being able to lower tire pressure. This will allow me to use my stock wheels on my '87 Pioneer. One element that effects tire wear is tire load rating as well. I was originally considering the KO2's due to reviews in forums. General Grabber AT2's were selected as they were lighter than the BFG to which had one more side wall layer. For snow siping helps retain snow/ice in regards that those elements stick together which provides traction. As does smaller treat blocks that the BFG/GG's provide. Mud is opposite, as a tire is less effective when the tread gets plugged with mud, thus needs to be cleared. Keep in mind that a RAM 1500 (4,765 to 6,440 weight) compared to a '87 Cherokee (3,357 weight) is going to make a big difference as we consider tire load rating. Higher rating is heavier, which also provides a higher load capacity which is needed for a plow and sanding and is more than likely not a 1500 series truck. Another example is my friend wanted to get cheap tires and I told him that he needs to keep that load rating in mind as he wanted to load a tote in the back to haul salmon, and that not just any tire will do as it will be loaded down. You do not match that load to load rating and it will get ugly real fast. Higher load rating and the tire side wall will also be stiffer, something to consider when airing down while off road. I was considering the DuraTrac, but for my use the BFG/GG's will suffice. If I hit more mud I'd for sure go DuraTrac. I was even considering the BFG Commercial Traction tires but their discontinued. These are just my thoughts, and once again it was good to see another snow review on these tires. 😁✌

7:25 It's not the sipes opening that gives you traction it's that snow on snow traction is better than rubber on snow, so them packing snow in is what gives you the traction.

I did not know that! Thank you for the insight. many years ago when my parents were getting winter tires installed and the tire guy said that's what the sipes do. Lol just assumed he was right.

Hi there I have a 2006 Chevy 2500 and an running the good year wrangler duratracs in south Alabama. They have been on my truck since 2016. They work good on cruising the cow pastures as well as interstate speed to pulling a 27 ft travel trailer. .biggest plus is very little road noise decent tires and was only 250 dollars per tire at Walmart USA
@TheGettyAdventures3 жыл бұрын
Gotta love Walmart. I think I paid 1400 Canadian Paso's for 3 tires and got the 4th for free lol. well If you ever venture up north you'll know your in good hands if you ever run into some snow!

Always ran them on my F150 work truck but could never get them balanced at all speeds. Switched to the lesser version which is better for more Hwy driving but they honestly suck in snow and can’t compare to the Duratrack. Only switched cause I had two tires that cupped and couldn’t get the duratracks at the time due to stock shortages. But as always balancing was a serious issue. Usually at 110 to 140km/hr they shook the cab so bad. In my line of work we drive at all speeds even up to 210km/hr at times. But average Hwy speed is 110km/hr and after several sets, could never get them to run smooth without rattling my teeth out and my poor kidneys!
@TheGettyAdventures3 жыл бұрын
interesting because my set vibrate at speed as well. not as bad as what you are describing but they do shake a little at highway speeds. I'm curious about the noise people complain about. did your sets ever get super noisy? mine are currently pretty quiet.

Great video! I have a 19 F150 and like you had mentioned mine also came with the slicks which were horrible in the winter. After hearing and seeing positive feedback from my buddy using them in the winter on his truck I decided to get myself a set. I went with 285/75/18’s in 10 Ply and can’t wait to try them out this winter, as northern Ontario here gets a lot of snow.

The tire is the constant, the driver is the variable. Unless winter tires or studded, all tires are questionable on ice. That is don’t blame the equipment, blame the driver. KO2, Duratec, Yadda yadda. Blonde, Redhead, Brunette, still a broad. All do basically the same thing, just different style. Duratec are the most aggressive AT tire out there and are generalists, not specialist. Noisy? Anyone who complains about the noise has never run MT tires. These are not noisy, even when worn. Check your PSI most run too high on trucks especially if you are following the TIP on door, which is for fully loaded weight, NOT day to day unloaded driving.

I take the 3 peak snow symbol with a major grain of salt. The falken wildpeaks are considered the best all terrain snow tire you can get universally for a truck but i have them and they are straight garbage. I live in Minnesnowta. I had the BG goodrich all terrain t/a back in the day before they became the Ko2 and those were amazing.

@WheresWaldo055 ай бұрын
@@daoyang8919 No. I spoke to a guy in the comments of youtube on some video who had done extensive testing on truck tires and worked for a tire company. He informed me that Falken had started cost cutting corners and or changed the production process on the Falken Wildpeak AT3w tires. So they became harder tires. Meaning the rubber was far worse after this change in wintery climates. I experienced lots of slipping and lack of grip either on ice, partial ice or snow. I switched to Goodyear Duratracs. They are a bit more expensive than Falkens but nothing crazy. And far far better in Minnesota wintery environments. So this would be my recommendation. My other choices were going to be the Toyo Open Country AT3 or the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. But both of these are again higher than the Goodyear Duratracs. Be on the lookout for buy 3 get 1 free programs. They had that at Fleetfarm where i bought mine and had them installed.
@Kyle-ut4jg2 жыл бұрын
It looks like they a slipping way too much. What pressure are you running them at in the snow. They would also work better if you bought some smaller wheels with a larger profile tire.

Has anyone run these Duratracs without the snowflake rating in the snow? They came stock on my truck and have the M+S rating for mud and snow, but don't have the snowflake. I have the siping and same pattern so I think it's likely just a difference in the rubber compound and how soft it is when it's cold. Would prefer not to get another set of tires if I don't need to. It doesn't snow hardly at all in town where I live, but I do drive to the mountain at least once a week in the winter for snowboarding. Thanks.

I have been wanting the Nokians to be better especially since I just paid $2000+ dollars for them. But............BUT..........butttt they're just not.
