    From most of the reviews I have read, my problem is not all that common... though somehow I will have had 5 tires replaced by the time I (hopefully) get this resolved.

    Most of the guys up here that run them get them mounted up with no problems and love them!

    I liked my Duratracs and I never killed one. I killed 2 BFG ATs and 2 firestone MTs on my Taco though.

    I agree! I'm at about 25k miles on my duratracs and I'm ready to get rid of them. I've felt from day 1 that these tires where horrible on wet roads. They have pretty decent traction when off road. Mine weren't too noisy for the first 10k miles, then they started getting noisy and wa wa-ish. Then I started having balancing issues that I can't correct and my steering wheel shakes at any speed over 60. I rotate every 5k miles and they are cupping and wearing oddly. I've also had 2 alignments and had the tires rebalanced twice. Still problematic. I can't wait to get rid of them!

    Glad I found this threat. I have Grabber AT2 stock size. I have over 50,000 miles on them. They have plenty of treat left for here in TN but one or two may not pass PA inspection.

    I was about to pull the trigger on a set of duratracs because of all the positive reviews on here. But, now I am not so sure. I think I will stick with the grabbers...
