Experience with Goodyear Duratrac Tires

What is wrong with the Toyo's? My local tire shop recommended them.

I ran Toyo's on my last two pick ups, excellent tires; [Open Country A/T II ]
Excellent tires check them out on Toyo's webb site.

My last two trucks have been F150's and I had DuraTracs (295/65/18) on my last F150. As a cross between an AT and MT tire they were great. Fantastic in snow (they're made with a snow tire like rubber, soft) and pretty good in mud, but I got rid of them when I hit around 70 k km's. I couldn't stand the noise anymore. They also had soft sidewalls giving the truck a bit of a squirrely feel at times. I've had Firestone Destination AT's, BFG AT KO'S, GY Silent Armors and now I have BFG KO2's, (285/65/20) and as already stated (I agree) they aren't as good in snow and mud as Duratracs but they're as quiet as the stock tires and ride very smooth, and are a very tough tire (10 ply) for offroading . So far, with 20k km's on the KO2's they will be my go to tire from now on.

I have Bridgestone Dueler A/T on my 4X4 . 130km's and still no problem with snow or ice . They were a little bit of problem last fall in mud but got me through.

Just got my new duratracts on.my 2018 ram yesterday. Very happy so far. Little more road noice then the factory tire but not to bad at all .great deal at 25%off.

Toyo Open Country ATII on current truck and last truck. Great tire.
Won't save you 5% on insurance though. No snowflake on sidewall.

I love my toyo AT2s (285/70r17) I have them in 10 ply for my cummins. I run dedicated winters as well because Im on the road so much and tow I want to be as safe as possible.

The Toyos dont have the snowflake but seem to perform about as well as the BFG ATs (snowflake) that I had before them in the snow and ice. The BFGs also 10 ply didnt even hold up to the weight of the diesel on the front tires. These Toyos are wearing great and Im happy with how they perform for the moderate hunting and fishing related offroading I do.

2 years and 1 month later since switching to the DuraTracs observations real world usage. They are noisy, and get worse in the winter, but I don't care. Mileage has stayed the same. Traction on ice half what the factory tires provided. Snow performance is awesome, as with mud. I have had the truck camper on truck, and boat trailer in axle deep mud in 4X4 low and they keep pulling the truck forward. Very little signs of wear or knobby destruction. They shed mud like no tomorrow, but clay sticks like glue ( As I said before I don't off road, because truck is too heavy). They have been rotated twice in the 18,000 KM since I installed. Overall, very happy and I can go off road now as opposed to not even driving on wet grass with old factory tires. I only put avg 9-12,000 KM per year on truck, 2010 F250 (gas) with 125,000 KM

...Traction on ice half what the factory tires provided...

Do you mean half or twice? I don't know what factory tires you had before, but I find that the traction on ice is not bad with my Duratracs. Realistically, without studs, traction on pure ice is always bad, but with 4x4 and these Duratracs, I don't have any issues.

The are bad on ice, compared to factory Continental10 Ply that came with F250, I went through two sets quickly. What I mean by went through is the tread grooves in the treads wore out to point of causing slip issue with still over 1/2 tread left. The Duratracks are not good on ice conditions as they "harden up more in the winter. It is not too much of a problem as I drive to conditions...not just because I have a 4 X 4. So if you drive in icy conditions as a daily commute, I would not recommend. Also, I thought because of the weight of my truck 6800 pds I would experience more front tire wear, this has not happened. The Continentals did this bad and had to be rotated every 5K for even wear. Again I think the ice traction issue is related to weight of truck. I will only buy Duratracks for my truck, very happy so far for the price.
