[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 253558, member: 412"] Loved Duratracs on my F150. HATED duratracs on my F250. To me they felt like driving on marshmallows, even up to 80# of air pressure. On my '06 F250 I had: BF Goodrich LongTrail (factory): Great on road, didn't throw a lot of rocks. Shitty on the ice/snow. Duratrac: I took them off in less than 1Mo. The worst was driving on 55-65MPH 2-lane roads with enough curves that there are posted speed signs to slow for the curves. IMO, very unpredictable as to when they would "set" in a corner. BFG ATKO: Great traction in all conditions, ONLY downside, they throw a lot of rocks. '11 F250: Continental Conti trac (factory): butter-smooth and quiet on-road w/good MPG, shitty traction on anything other than dry pavement/concrete. Nitto Trail Grappler: Great in mud, wet, wet/heavy snow. Shitty on ice/packed snow. Loud, robbed mileage (~2MPG on Hwy.), and threw rocks. BFG ATKO 2: Traction even better than originals, still throw rocks. Nitto Exo-Grappler: Best packed-snow/ice traction that I've had on either F250. Very stable, even w/only 65# of air. Maybe 1 MPG mileage loss over factory street tires. They don't throw a lot of rocks, but, sometimes they'll throw some pretty decent sized rocks. Cannot speak to longevity, however, I've got ~20K on them and still have 13-14/32nds. They are noisy. They're 10ply rated and have 3 sidewall belts instead of 2 like most tires so the ride is firmer, but, IMO/IME that also makes driving (cornering in particular) more predictable/stable. I have these on a set of rims and run them Oct-Apr. Nitto Terra Grappler: Underwhelming. Throw just as many rocks as ATKO2, traction isn't as good. MPG is good and noise isn't bad. I can't speak to longevity yet as I only have 1 summer on them. Have to run them @ 75# or more air or they're squishy feeling. I wouldn't buy them again. I realized lots of Nitto tires on the list. Nitto is a USA subsidiary of Toyo. I consider Toyo to be a top-tier tire manufacturer. Nitto tires are Made in USA so I tend to look there 1st. [/QUOTE]
