Not sure if that's just for my size or what. The original duratracs are discontinued, they have a new druatrac rt now. Neither Tire rack or discount tire have the new ones yet. I bought mine from the local goodyear dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They test in all conditions and compare tires in groups of 3-4. If you’re looking for good winter tires you can search by triple peaks and compare. If the selection is not what you’re looking for you can look at snow, wet, and ice traction by tire. I’m running Michelin Cross Climate’s on both my AWD vehicles. Not trucks but gives you an idea. I start by searching for triple peaks and go from there. Yep…the triple peak symbol is a must around here and I agree that Tire Rack is an excellent resource for comparison purposes.👊🏻 Also I went with these Coopers because they are made in Texarkana and Findlay Ohio.🇺🇸 Edited October 28, 2023 by Jimmy Snacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've run them all through the midwest, west, and upto the yukon with no issues and never had to use chains. I got about 80k miles on my last set but that's a dually so srw probably won't last that long 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soeaster Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Perfect timing for this thread! I'm about 50k in on a set of Ko2s and they've been excellent up until now. Great in the snow, noisy but not horrible, rotate them about every 5k and still have good tread left even at 50k. However, they absolutely suck ass in rainy conditions now. Got them on a GMC 1/2 with a 6.2 and all I do is fishtail when it's wet out. Looking at Falken AT3s, General Grabbers, Duratrac RTs, not sure yet, but need to do something this fall. The Ko2s have been REALLY nice to have in some seriously horrible conditions so I want to stick with something more aggressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted October 28, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Toyo Open Country II or III. Good traction and unbeatable durability. I've had 3 sets all which have went over 50k on my Duramx's. Hard on tire miles including lots ot towing and greavel roads. Rotate every 5k and they last forever. Diesels wear tires quick because of the weight and torque. I could see them going 75k on half tons.

Prefer something good in snow and occasionally mud. It has michelens currently that are just ok. Michelin LTX MS/2 is the best all around tire made.

Now those same tires are $600/each and the sale is $200 off a purchase of 4. I now buy deals and don't worry about brand. Bought a couple sets a chinese tires in the last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
