I've got 22K miles on a set of DuraTracs on my other truck. Just the last 500 or so miles, these things have gotten so loud, I thought I had wheelbearings or rear axle trouble. No problems with the truck itself, even jacked it up and ran it up to 45 mph, and couldn't hear anything out of the rearend. Tires rotated every 5K miles, no uneven wear, no cupping or anything. I really like these things in the snow, best tire I've ever had in that.
My question to you guys, does this sound about right with this kind of mileage to be doing this? I realize some AT's will get noisey, been there done that before, but I don't recall it being this early.
Truck is RWD Ranger Edge, 265/75/16 tires.

I put it in general F150 discussion due to so many that have these on their 150.

Just got my stx a week ago, but I've had duratracs on several past vehicles, 03 liberty and a 13' wrangler. While they definitely get louder after they get some miles, i never really thought it was too loud or annoying. You have to understand that duratracs are the most aggressive all terrain you can get and are almost mud tires. I honestly loved my duratracs and will probably put them on my f150 down the road

I just talked to Belle Tire about them. I'm gonna take the little guy down there in the next couple days to see if anything can be done for me. I don't expect a full set of new tires for free, but would be nice to get something.

DJ, did you talk to the dealer about them?

Do you rotate or just go front to back? Some tires need to wear the other way to keep the noise down.

I rotate, left front to right rear, right front to left rear, rear tires straight ahead.

Well then, you did your part. It’s the tires.

, I've been looking at other tires, but if I want the 3PSF on there, I'm pretty limited in my size.

The Duratracs on my Bronco have 23K miles and they sing pretty good. They are at half tread. That's impressive for my Bronco. It devoured the last set of tires in 20K miles.
The Duratracs on my Raptor have 18K miles and are still pretty quiet. They hum a little but that's normal even when new. I don't consider the hum loud or annoying but you can hear them.
