Studded Duratracs are hard to beat for traction . I am super happy with them . Only run them in winter. Summer I run Toyo m55 and they are louder then the Duratracs . Wifes SUV has Cooper Winters M/S and there great in the heavy wet stuff .

I ran studded tires 3-4 years ago, I think they were Nokians. Once studs wore out or went missing I think they were worse than the non studded I have now. Be mindful the studs are very hard on garage floors. For that reason alone I won’t be bothered.

Blizzak has a 10 ply, studs are only good on ice and low speeds, mix of snow and ice and higher speeds get the Bridgestone Blizzak!

This is the third winter on my Costco blizzaks for my dodge. They work great. They are my favourite.

90k on a set of truck tires ?? I have never gotten any where close to that .
Best i have done is 68k in my dmax with a set of Duratracs.
Have seen guys get higher milage out of street tires on mostly pavement.
I am at 82k with my Duratracs on a '16 d-max with 30% left. Expect to get another 10k out of them. Oh ya, got them from Canadian Tire, 4 for 3 sale.
