    I was plaining on moving to Colorada, now I think my plans have changed, that being said I was sold on Duratracs. I currently live in MI. As you must know there is no real places to go off roading and the the amout of snow that falls in the S.E near Detroit is not that much. (usually)

    I have about 43k on the originals (09 4x4 Dbl Cab) I want to replace in about a month, so I in no real hurry.
    So now I am trying to decide on a tire that will be more suiting for MI. I just really think DT's would be over kill for what I do and for what MI has to offer.

    For the people that live around this part of the county what are you guys using?
    Thanks to help me decide.

    35% up front, 20% in the back window tint, 15" Mickey Thompson bullet hole wheels, with 31x10.5 Firestone Destination A/T tires. Glass Pack, High Flow Cat, S&B CAI, Custom Light Bar with 4 fog lights. 2 10" Rockford Fosgate P2 subs with 1000 watt Rockford Fosgate Amp, CB.
    All above are great tires. I also have heard really good things about Cooper Discover S/T's.
