Getting new skins today

[J_F250]

Getting new tires today. I went with the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs.
315/75/16s they are a load range E tire and they look good I think. I thought about the Toyo M/Ts but I was scared about my truck driving like crap again for another 50,000 miles.
The duratracs look like a cross between a A/T and a M/T to me.
I will report on them soon.

I saw those the other day and they look like they might be a fairly good tread pattern. Not quite as aggressive as most M/Ts, but still more than standard A/Ts. I'm not big on Goodyears, but I would like to hear how these do for you...I'm gonna need some new shoes before too long myself.

so what is your take on these tires now? i am need of some tires

hey how do you like those good years, need new rubbers and im a little curious how you like them so far

 

[J_F250]

I like them...they look good and ride pretty good. The installer said they balanced real good. After a couple of thousand miles they are getting a little louder. If I keep the truck I will get some Centramatics to smooth it out even more. No traction issues even in hard rain. I have not taken it off road.

what do you mean "IF I KEEP THE TRUCK" this isnt the place to say you're switching to cummins or duramax. you better be gettin a new SD in its place!

No I sold it only because I wanted something better on fuel mileage. I would never switch to a duramax...cummins on the other hand, i can't say never. lol

Where did you get them and how much did they run you?

 

[J_F250]

Local tire shop, about $900+ tax I think.

I sell alot of Dura-Tracs.
I think most of them are mis-applied however..
They aimed this tire squarely at the ag-construction market, but guys get harbons about the styling..
One of the two local Conservation Officers has them, the other has Silent Armors, I put both sets on..
frankly, I'm happier with how the Silent Armors are holding up
wearing smoother, wearing longer, etc..

plus they have a better warranty..

the Dura-Tracs have more off-road and snow traction, but on the other hand (besides having different fingers), the Silent Armor has the two-year free winch-out program...
