Getting New Tires Soon, Need Opinion

How many miles do you have on your current Duratracs? Debating if they will be my next tire or not...

 

cool thanks. i think ive pretty much cancelled out bfgs and the grabbers. so im probably goin for the nittos. ill check prices for at2's. if they are low enough, it may just win me over lol.

 

Just throwing it out there because I heard this being said a few days ago by professionals at the Baja 500: "I don't get flats. I run Goodyears."

Also overheard: "These Grabbers suck. Good for malls. I'm sponsored by them but they suck."

 

duratracs are quiet on the road and pretty decent in the mud good in lose rock. best tire i have ran so far

 

referring to the grabbers i was lookin at? or the at2?

 

22000 miles quarter wear mostly highway

 

Yeah, the red letters. Not sure if he meant the entire line or just those.

 

and they wear pretty well on the road? cuz like i said, i need something to last a while. and not much mud/rock around here that you can tear up. maybe ill be doing sand again next year in obx. but unless the guys take another trip soon, i wont be hitting any mud or rock. i got a prerunner as well, so the best mud tire isnt what im lookin for either. just something that looks tough but performs well on the road

 

havent heard many people say that about the grabbers at all.


sully i got the at2's in 265/70/17 for $605 all 4 out the door.

 

disregard my comment on your quote haha was assuming u were talkin at2's. my bad. i havent heard much of anything of the red letter.

 

Yeah, I was a bit shocked, too, 'cause I've heard good things. These guys go through them like underwear, though. The rl's were on chase vehicles, while the Goodyear's were on the actual race car.

 

i mean like i said if the at2's are so inexpensive that they win me over, then thayll be the winner, but so far im lookin for the nittos. got a few guys at work that have them on their trucks, my boss has them on his excursion and even with all the weight, they wear really well and they are pretty quiet on the road, heard the same from a customer with a tundra with them.

 

thats crazy, i remember people raving about them when they first came out. seemed like everyone wanted them. Not a tire for me anyway.

 

My nittos got a little hum to them, nothing loud though.

 

Yeah, they definitely LOOK good, but I can't speak from experience about their use. Hell, I'm still running Rugged Fails. Guy's advice swayed me, though, when I DO get new tires.

 

hah yeah. i think im saving the rl's for after my lift and stuff like i said. and a little hum isnt too bad for all terrains, most have a little bit

 

yea man u really cant go wrong with the nittos either. they are both great tires imo. But after you think of which is the better performing then i go for how they would look. i know sounds lame. but as long as u know ur getting an good performing tire then looks are the next thing. Thats how i went about it anyway. and i just thought the at2's had a more aggressive profile to them.

 

i think they are actually pretty quiet i never hear them. i have run the old style mtr from good year on a frontier that was better insulated than the taco is and they hummed a bit to say the least. the dura tracs aren't bad at all i did not notice any real noise with them.

 

i mean performance is why i was lookin at bfg and nitto, and grabbers look sweet haha. they all have a badass lookin tread. but i kinda like the sidewalls on the nittos, plus if i remove the mud flaps, i think theyll look badass from behind, just cuz its a rugged lokin tread pattern

 

twice the mileage? i have a vote for exaggeration of the year!
