Those are M/S2 guess I forgot to add the MS2 in my initial post there's also LTX defenders... But the MS2 is a phenomenal tire. I run true winter tires on all of our vehicles because stopping and turning are important for the safety of my family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a set of Duratrac's for around $1200 for the set 4 years ago. 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. I put a set of Toyo CUV All seasons on our Lincoln MKX…they have been damn good so far.

Winterman Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 BF Goodrich Trail Terrains cheaper, quieter and pretty good traction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run them on the front of mine because open shoulder tires wear choppy on a dually. Otherwise they're the worst tires I've ever seen for traction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Kitty Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Nothing on Mickey Thompson. tires , I may try the Baja Boss or legend, I’ve been running bf KO2 on all my rigs, great tire and wears well, Edited October 28, 2023 by Turbo Kitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat45 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Just now, Crnr2Crnr said: P or LR/E? What are you putting them on? F350 dually. I've been thinking about hakapalitas, but worried I'll wear them out too quick in warmer climates on dry pavement. I can go from 50deg to -20 and snow packed rds in a matter of a few days then back again so finding the right tire is tough. The duratracs seem to be a good compromise but always looking for improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tow truck friend told me to do this almost 20 yrs ago and it cured the chop problem. I havent done it yet on this truck, but will be getting it done after the new tires are on.

I'll check it out. To rotate often enough I'd have to do it every 2 weeks or so and it's just too time consuming. 2 week oil changes is bad enough...

The duratracs seem to be a good compromise but always looking for improvement. Nokian makes excellent winter ❄️ tires. Thing with true winters is putting them on around Thanksgiving and taking them off around Easter. Due to the softer compound heat will destroy them. So, the question is do you want winter and all season tires or just the best 'all season' tire you can purchase? post your specific size and what type you'd want and I'll pm you later. I have some other work to do this afternoon... quality time with the leaf blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTX MS2... they're not cheap but quality and safety isn't cheap either. There's a few other tires worth considering as well but I have shit to do... then F1 qualifying is on.

Havent on the last couple trucks though. Yeah full synthetic. I'd push it farther but i have tons of idle time on each change so i stick with 10k. My last 6.7 blew up at 400k but supposedly it was from a glowplug that broke off and dropped in the cylinder. My current one is a bit over 400k and doing fine. Hoping to get 500k out of this 1.

I went from a 21 limited to a 23 lariat ultimate. Other than not having massaging seats my 23 is leaps and bounds better than my 21. They thought of everything. Even has cameras on the top of the tailgate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
