Default Just ordered Duratracs

I just ordered a set of Goodyear Duratracs from discount tire today. They will be here in about a week. I stayed with the stock 275/65 r18 size. Hopefully I won't suffer a huge mileage loss. I drive on a lot of muddy roads so I need something better than the stock SRAs. I still don't know why Ford puts highway tires on the FX4s??? I'll write a review once I get them installed.

A review would be great as I'm looking at getting these once my current set of tires wear out

I rode in a F250 with a set of these on last week and was surprised how smooth and quiet they were. That is why I pulled the trigger.

I'm looking at getting a set of these since they have good reviews for snow and ice which I drive alot of in winter. That and I'm not on pavement much so these should be great

I've read a lot of good reviews about the snow and ice handling of these tires. I'm sure they will do the job.

They did. I called several places and no one could come close to their out-the-door price.

Only went from 18.5 average to 17.3 average with them and the level on my EB 3.55. They are very quiet on the road and handle wet and dry tarmac well above average of most A/Ts that I have had in the past. They are a beast when it comes to offroad and excel in the mud compaired to my old BFG A/T KOs on my old truck. I live in south Texas so I never had them in snow but I heard they are great in that terrain as well. Being that they are 10 ply E rated, these tirse handle the weight of towing very well as long as you are them up according to the weight being towing like all E rated tires require. I have had them for about 13,000 miles so far with plenty of life left in them. I would say I have another 25-30k miles left on them, but I am terrible at judging those sort of things. Overall I love them.
