I've burned up lots of m55's as well, one of the better ones I've tried

Anyone ever try dick cepek fun country's? I was looking at putting some 305/70r18 on my new rims when they come in.

I am running the FC2's right now. Not loud, no balancing issues. They are on a 3500 dodge diesel and I have 70000 km on them. I expect they will last til 100000km. I'll be running them again. Amazing tire IMO

I have these on my 2011 Chev 3500 and don't care for them much. The millage is not issue. The noise is brutal and I find them terrible in the snow and ice.

Any of you sipe the mud type tires? I siped a set of toyo MT myself cause they were already used a bit and nobody would put them on a machine, but they were decent in the snow after that. I did a set of M55 as well. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1410533429.138371.jpg

Recently bought a set of Duratracs for my 2500hd gasser and find there is alot of sidewall sway. Im running 45psi in the front and 55psi in the rears. Stock tire size. Anyone else have this issue? Will airing them up help?

I found that also. I thought maybe cause they were softer rubber. Running about the same pressure as you to

My brother runs them on his F350 dually welding rig and said to bump the pressure up to 75psi or so and it will help. Which might help as on my older 2500 i ran wrangler all terrains at 70psi with no sway. I think i will bump the pressure up and see.

I thought that was low as well but at 45/55 thats right where the tps sensors are rated for. I will double check the door stickers to make sure there the right sensors.

45 & 55 sounds real low for a 2500. Check your door sticker, but I'm betting they should be run at something like 55 & 80. Betting that'll make a world of difference.
But with 80 in the rear, rides like a lumber wagon , wears the rears way to fast, a dealer can program them down to 35 all 4 and up

A gas pickup 45 psi all 4


A diesel pickup 55 all 4, and bump rear if hauling something heavy for both

I can handle the lumber wagon feel and faster tire wear to get ride of sway. Checked the door, factory say 50 in the front 72 in the rear. Will be bumping up the pressure and getting tps sensors adjusted.

Check the tire sidewall to see what the maximum pressure for the tire is. The door sticker is only good for factory wheels and tires.
