Grabber AT/X or Duratracs?

I've researched them for a few hours they seem to be pretty good tires. Idk where you're getting your info from

 

Guys that actually wheel and have ran them. Such as guys on TW that aren’t just chasing the cheap tire options that look “cool”. Guys that wouldn’t buy a Walmart Pro grill. They’re in here believe it or not.

 

We’re out here man! Lol

Every tire I’ve looked at has similar problems every once in awhile. Tires are mass produced and there’s gonna be some dud tires with every brand. I’m just looking for a good tire that will work on my dd and some off-roading that doesn’t cost a fortune and has good reviews. The wildpeak seemed to cover all that and I’ve heard great things about them.

 

Go with them homie. Third gen owners complain about anything and everything anyways, so tread lightly with what they say. (pun intended) Like I said my E rated wildpeaks have done well, and showing little to no wear at 12k miles since I bought them. Wheeled plenty of times with them and they've held up well. No issues with vibrating on highway or anything. Go with the majority vote versus minority complaints

 

Good man, I appreciate the helpful feedback

 

You'll like the Falkens.
I've aired them down to 10 psi without issues.

 

Ive also been thinking about the Grabber ATX. Hard to choose

 

I took a set 265/75-16 load range C Duratracs off my Taco today. Over 46,000 miles and 6/32" tread remaining. Been through heavy snow, compact snow and ice, mud, rocks, washboard gravel, freeway, two lane highway, city, you name it and they saw it. No uneven wear. No vibrations. No need to rebalance. No shimmy. No problems whatsoever. I replaced them with another set of Duratracs. Best AT tire i've owned in 40 years of driving.

 

I have traditionally used the cooper at3 and it is a solid tire with good wear and quit on the road. I have had two sets on my Tacoma and they have been descent off road. Take care of hen and they will easily do 40k. However, with recently moving near the mountains I wanted something more aggressive and tried the Faulkin Wildpeaks and I have been impressed. They are just as quiet on the road and great in snow/mud. I only have 5k but they are warring nicely.

 

Some more aggresive yet road friendly options:
Goodyear Trailrunner AT
Cooper AT3
Firestone Destination AT or AT2 (What I just bought, great so far)
Yokohoma Geolandar GO15
Toyo Open Country AT2
Cooper Discoverer RTX


Imo, Falkens seem cheap to me. Not many people I know speak well of them.

 

i've had size 15 duratracs for about 21k miles, they are due for another rotation at DT so I will have them measure the tread to see where they are at.
i was very much hoping to get many more miles than you got on yours! ... because they aint cheap and i have a shitton of 'maintenance' expenditures for this truck this year just as i did last year, major costly maintenance that should only be a once in a decade type of expenditure


with my stock wheels the balancing on them is very complicated the DT guys told me

what psi do/did you keep yours at?

 

4th maybe 5th set of Duratracs here. You're supposed to balance and rotate every tire fairly often. As you drive, hit bumps and they wear, they will slowly change and go out of balance. Balancing a tire is not that complicated as the machines used to do it are very common and capable. Just place the correct weight where it tells you to.

 

That is pretty good mileage for a MT. The Duratrac is essentially a MT/AT hybrid tire. And they are a decent snow tire so the compound must be fairly soft. If you live in a warm dry place they might last 60,000 miles. If you have four seasons with real winters then you might have to chuck them with far fewer miles. The best of any tire is the first 50% of the tread.

They chalked at 25 lbs or so. Didn't like how they felt at 25 so ran around 32.

Edit - I rotated every 5K to 7K. Never had to rebalance. Wear was very even with no unevenness.

 

I had Duratracs and they were great off road. I could never get them balanced. Numerous trips to different tire stores and no luck. I pulled them off and got some KM3’s and love those.
