I think the Duratracs are gonna have to go!!!

Had my 5100's and duratracs put on last Thursday and I couldn't be happier!! Everything looks good and feels good! There is a slight hum at 100km almost nothing driving around town 60km. My truck is also undercoated. Bottom line i would recommend these tires to all!

 

love mine... had them on my last few vehicles without the problems you mentioned...

 

I have the e load 285's on my truck. Guys, these tires hum alot when new but after about 1-2k miles the hum does go down alot. As does the stone/rock throwing. These tires are awesome in the snow because they have the siping grooves in them ( the squiggly little cuts for you newbs ) that alot of other at tires don't have. They are awesome in the rain and on dry roads. I have had mine for about 24k miles already and will probally throw on another new set before this winter. Not that they don't last long but with my heavy foot and trd supercharger any tire tends to wear quicker =). I love the e loads to boot because they are so damn thick i can drive through all kinds of garbage/ ie construction and not worry about nails giving me a flat. Cause a flat tire on a lifted truck is an sob. No regrets and will def run these bad boys again.

 

I have been averaging around 16 mpg so far. They have quieted down and are starting to grow on me. I am liking them better.

 

Sorry to hear OP dosent like the duratracs.
I love my duratracs getting just shy of 19mpg and they are not that noisey to me. I've had race tires on some of my other cars that lasted 10k miles, were louder and a rougher ride then these duratracs.

 

X2. Stay away from load range E. Those are better for much bigger, heavier trucks. If you can find a load range C tire.

What size tires do you have?

You must drive like a granny or I seriously have something wrong with my truck.

How does everybody calculate their mileage?

 

Fill up at a pump until the pump cuts off. Reset trip odometer. Do not round up or top off the gas. Drive. When tank gets low, fill up at the SAME PUMP until it cuts off. Divide trip odometer by gallons on receipt.

 

I will give that a try. My mileage sucks!

 

Not sure if someone else mentioned it, but remember the stock tires they put on there are P-Rated. Very light so of course it gets wicked MPG. The Duratracs also have a very sticky compound. (At least I noticed they did compared to my Michelin MS and my BFG A/Ts.)

Are you up to date on all your filter, oil and fluid changes?

 

Yes, I have about 600 more miles before my 25k mile service..... Every 5k miles just like Toyota says to.

To be honest with you all I am not happy at all with these tires and wish I had never bought them. My mileage absolutely sucks! I may get around 15.5 mpg. I do not get on it or anything like that and I just don't understand what is going on why mine is so bad. I use to get around 18 before these.

If I could find somebody local that would give me their stock bfg tires with excellent tread and $550.00 we may have a deal!

 

My PSI is 34. What does it need to be?

I am in the woods hunting way too much to take the mud flaps off! lol

 

Handholding revival

 

huh?

 

^^^^^

 

AHHH, I gotcha! lol

 

haha

 

I have the factory BFG Rugged Trails 265/70/r16 and I drive pretty much all city, and I get right at 16.5 mpg and on the highway Im pulling 21.0 mpg I mean what are your driving habits dude?

 

I am a very conservative driver.
