Why SHOULDNT i get duratracs?

I live in in Norcal where I know we get more rain than you do in Pacific Beach. I've also spent a lot of time in the South where they actually get rain.

The suggestion that Californians know how to drive is the funniest thing I've read all week. Californians are IDIOTS as soon as it starts raining. Windshield wiper on = brain off (in california).

A lilo of people on here are knocking the wet traction of the duratracs... I haven't had any problems at all with that and we've had some pretty significant rain here lately...

 

How many miles do the tires have. Mileage seems to be a factor. Mine weren't near as bad when they were newer, but now with 30 - 35k miles they are terrible on wet roads.

Not to be confused with cutting through deep water. The huge tread these tires have cut through water well, but fail to grip the pavement when wet. Raining or not.

 

i have 26k miles on my 265/70r17 duratracs. they have been great tires. very good in rain, 'good' in snow but NOT a snow tire by any means. They are holding up very well with about 1/2 or more tread left at 26k miles. took a ton of weights to balance them.

my next tire will be a hankook dynapro ATM. lighter, quieter, heard they balance well, and better in snow.

 

I'm in Minnesota. My mechanic also sells tires and really likes the Cooper AT3, so I put them on to replace the horrible OEM Tires on my '14 Tacoma.

I really like the AT3 in the snow (and overall) - they did a great job last winter.
