Ya, mine were decent until recently, that hum has turned into a roar. I was thinking on the 150, hose would be going on when time came for tires on it, now, I'm quite undecided. Sure do like them in the snow though,

I love my Nitto tires. They are made by Toyo. Also put Toyo's on my wife's Nissan Rogue. I would say my Ridge Grapplers are the best tires I've ever owned.
Of course, I live in the sun belt. Not much snow, except when we go to the mountains occasionally.

Thought I replied, but guess not. Do you know if any of those Nittos have the 3PSF on them? That's a must for me up here.

Thanks! I was on the Nitto website, but didn't see those. Those could be an option for me. I am trying to keep the cost down, this truck is 15 years olde, but still runs great at 173K, for now at least. LOL

Gonna take it down to Belle Tire tomorrow. New DuraTracs have 18/32 tread depth, my worse two tires are at 11/32, and the other two are at 13/32, not even half the wear gone at 22K. We'll see. I've got a feeling that nothing will be done though.

No luck having Belle do anything for me, not upset about it, it was just a shot in the dark anyway.
Wound up at Discount Tire and have a set of Cooper AT/W going on Friday/Saturday. Never had Coopers before, but with a 50K warranty thought I try them. 3PSF so there's that too. I won't consider anything less than that rating.
It was between these and Falken AT3, literally did a coin flip, and saved about $35 a tire. Hope it turns out to be worth it. Just couldn't stand the howling any longer, those DuraTracs all of a sudden got LOUD.

Lookin forward to how they work for you.
Im not a fan of Goodyear’s. I’ve had at least 3 sets that went bad around 25K miles.

Ya, I'll put up something as soon as I get them on, first impression. Certainly in no rush for winter, but that will tell me a lot about them. Then we'll see when I get around 20K.
Goodyear has always been my go to tire, these DuraTracs really disappointed me.
