I just discovered discount tire direct. Seems to have better prices than tirerack when you include the shipping pricing. As always, would be vastly cheaper if we were south of the border.

Just throwing this out there, a major oilfield company sent out a notice regarding the high failure rate they were seeing on the Duratracs. Supposedly a lot of these trucks weren't in a highly abusive environment but were running gravel everyday. Don't shoot the messenger.

These guys are awesome if they have the rubber you're looking for. I actually got a killer deal on some Duratracs a few years ago through them right to the door.

Not quite as vanilla as the stock ones. So far so good, not too loud either.

So how much was the set of four? 20 or 18" rims? I might go the same route.

It was 1180 for the tires themselves, plus tax, install blah blah blah was 1360 all in.

18". (275/65r18). That was at Fountain Tire. Free flat repair, rotations, balances for the life of them.

The 'we won't be undersold' tire folks at Ford were around 1800.

I'm running the extremes and I am very happy with them. They don't have the winter rating but still had lots of grip. Better then Goodyear silent armours that do have the snowflake. I have had tons of different at and mud tires I the winter and the best I come across were the duratracs. At2 extremes are perfect for what I use them for.
On a side note the duratracs and silent armours only balloon like that when that are at the end of there life or abused extremely in past experience.

Duratrac is the way to go! They are much quieter ( I have never noticed any noise from them) than the old style MTRs that I had and grip way better in all conditions. Very happily using my third set.

Had the same thing happen to me, not a good thing.

Anyone try the Pro Comp extreme AT

I had them on my cummins. Didn't like them at all. I ended up selling them long before they were worn out, and bought a set of dick cepek fc2. I really like these tires.

We run nothing but the Goodyear Duratracs 10 ply E Load on our fleet of half ton pickups here at work. The 10 ply might be overkill but we never get flat tires and we drive all the really bad oilfield roads in Alberta (i.e. Bigstone, Edson North Road, etc.). I just put a set of the P-Metrics 245 70R17 on my wife's SUV and the thing looks mean ($1089 installed all in). The P-Metrics still have the snow flake so they meet the winter rating for BC when needed and this truck is going to tear up the streets this winter. My truck is getting a new set of 10 plys on Monday, they only lasted 110,000 km, terrible lol. Probably could have gotten 150K if I wasn't pulling the holiday/Skidoo trailer all the time. These are the only tires I will ever buy. I see Kaltire now has a similar tread pattern on some knockoff brand but I see no reason to try them out since the last set of Kaltire Wild Countrys on the SUV cost me $950 got me only 45K. Junk. But that's just my opinion.

Just installed a set of cooper atw's on my f150. They are what they consider a hybrid between a winter and and a all terrain, lots of siping and a good treadwear rating. I will report more on them once they see some miles and some snow.
