I love the Duratrecs. Put a set on my dad's Dodge. Going 75, I can barely hear them over the turbo of that stock 5.9. Running WFO, wind noise is what you hear. Best all terrain tire IMO.

Now my favorite all terrain tire is the Hankook Dynapro ATM. Same ratings as the BFG ATs, but at the time I purchased mine they were $40 less a tire. For $4 more a tire on the Hankooks I went from a P265/75-16 to a LT265/75-16 (prices have obviously changed since) but those load E rated tires have 46,000 miles on them...and still have 45% of the tread left. When compared to the OEM P-rated tires I had on the truck (which only lasted 25,000 miles of nothing but highway driving) I'm getting about 3x the life with the 10 ply versus the 4, that's running a fully locked rear end too.

I had Duratechs on my F250 for about two weeks. Off road traction was very good and noise was minimal, but handling was DEADLY DANGEROUS on that big truck. The tread squirm was so bad, it could put you in the ditch if you were not careful. It was like it took the tires about a half second to respond to steering input. Had a similar but slightly less significant problem with the Silent Armor AT's. Had the truck thoroughly checked out to rule out anything mechanical. No issues. I expected more out of an expensive E Range tire. Tried several pressures. It did best at 80 PSI. Thank goodness for the 30 day drive warranty.

I put on a set of Revo 2's that were much better. We have a Bridgestone/Firestone plant nearby. One of the dads in my son's Boy Scout troup was one of the designers of the Dueler Revo 2 tire. He said that nearly all tires by most manufacturers are "softer" now than they were just a few years ago.

Things may be much different on a half ton F-150, but I would be hard pressed to try Goodyear truck tires again. Traction is important, especially wet traction on a highway running 70mph, but handling is far more important to me. It doesn't have to be sports car crisp, but it does need to be nimble with very minimal sway. Safety is more important than showing off to your buddies on how much mud you can go through.

This might be a dumb question, but how many ply were the duratechs? E rated doesn't necessarily mean good for heavy vehicles. My dynapros are only 6 ply and they have pretty significant sidewall flex which could have been your problem

I have rugged trail.
They are awsome on the street and not bad in sand.....not really an off-road tire though.

for living in a very snowy place (Montreal, canada) ...If you're looking for mud tire...forget about snow.
Any mud tire sucks big time in snow or icy condition.
Nothing beat winter tire...even cheap one

E is a ten ply. C is a 6 ply. D is an 8 ply. P is a 4 ply. My dads duratrecs are Ds. I've never had an issue with the steering response with them. Quite comfortable running 70 mph in heavy rain with them or 115 in dry weather (115 is the 3200 rpm gov in 4th on that megacab). I like them way better than the Firestone destinations that I took off that truck for the reason of pitiful off asphalt performance.
