BFG TA KO or GoodYear Wranger Duratrac

Thanks !, when i had them first installed i had them at like 50 and nearly lost my teeth on the ride home, lol. I found that 35psi is just perfect. Any lower and you'll feel the tires bow on turns. Once you do 35psi you wont go back, its that comfy. Outside of that they've taken everything i've thrown at them for the last 10k miles....lol those miles went by pretty quick, I think I was one of the first people to try on the duratracs.

 

So did anyones MPG drop with 285/75/16's Duratrac's (Load Ranger C)?

 

I have 265/75/16's in a C...still waiting on going through my first tank of gas with them. Probably gonna have to fill up today or tomorrow. I noticed they are little more sluggish than the Toyo open country AT's I had on before.

I have noticed they are a little noisy on the highway. I'm gonna play around with the air pressure to see how that helps. The noise doesn't bother me though. I'm sure they will quiet down a little as I put more miles on them. They only have about 300 miles on them.

 

They will quiet down. The compound is a little softer since its snow rated so right now you're just hearing the "stickiness" on the road. That'll go away after a while

 

I'd agree with this. Mine were lounder than I expected when I first got them, but they seem to be a bit quieter now that I have some miles on them.

 

mine where never load at all. compared to my buddys taco with KM2s these are silent

 

Just reserved my Duratracs yesterday. Wheels will be in Monday or Tues. and 5100's will be here Thur. Can't wait for next weekend.

 

Have you guys noticed any significant gas mileage decreases, while sticking with the same size tire over other tread patterns?

Ie. going from bfg at's 265's to druatrac 265's, losing MPG?

 

A bit off topic I know but I was thinking about trying duratracs as well but for some reson i just dont trust Goodyear not even sure why?

? has anyone tried Nokian Vatiiva A/t

I really cant decide between Duratracs, Wrangler Silent Armours or Nokian Vatiiva A/T

 

I installed my 265/75/16 C Duratracs on Fri... So far, they have exceeded my expectations...

We've got 12"+ of snow on the ground and they are great on the snow packed/ icy roads... Drove to work doing the speed limit on mountain roads... I made it to the top of my property in the 12" of snow (600 feet of elevation in 1 mile...). My previous AT's would have made it about halfway... I know because I've tried before...

So far, these are the best tires I've ever owned... I've had BFG AT's, Wrangler silent armors, Dunlop mud rovers, general grabber MT's, etc...

These get 100 thumbs up from me...

 

Anyone with Duratracs have more pictures to share?

 

Good tire with excellent siping. I don't recall ever having issues with them on my work truck (2500 Ram Cummins diesel) Not the most aggressive AT out there, but very well rounded.

 

Just got home w/ a new set of Duratracs installed, the 4 Dunlops are in the back of truck, taking them to the office tomorrow w/ me already SOLD...love the Duras, worked superb on the 1/2 mile trek up the ridge in high winds and ice/snow...daggone well pleased, plus they look neato w/ the black walls out...will try to post a pic if I can figure it out...

 

anyone else with duratracs notice how bad these tires grab onto rocks. Im consistantly little rocks out of the treads

 

Just got the BFG's

 

I was recently quoted the BFG AT's at my local Discount Tire for $204.00 each plus the recent BFG $60.00 rebate. Tire size 265/75/16. Is it worth it?

 

yeah it is i think...got mine for 190 a piece....

 

i love mine. Just had them put on a good 5000 miles ago. Theyre quiet.. its awesome

 

My Duratracs are going on as I type this. 265\75\16 in a C. $650 installed, aligned, etc.
