I've been running the Toyo AT II's and I'm at 70,000 miles and plan on getting at least another 5,000, if not 10,000 out of them. I will be putting another set on once they are worn out!

Actually, I dorked that up. They're 6 bolt wheels. The truck came with a 7200# GVWR package with LT245/75R17 tires. It's definitely not a max tow/payload.

Thats what our fleet trucks mostly come with... Load range E tire on your standard XLT rim. Sometimes your lucky and get an upgrade and can get a chrome rim 18" or 20" rim.

I just put on the Firestone Destination AT LT265/75 R18 yesterday on my fleet truck because they wouldn't let me put on the Michelin M/S2. The destination is pretty aggressive, I'm happy. I drive 50% gravel and the stock Goodyear wranglers lasted 30k.

There are enough Duratrac fanboys out there that you should be able to sell them. Get what works.

I had Destination AT in stock 275/65 R18 on my 11 XLT. They were great. Fantastic in the rain, and did great in the snow. They are also quiet on the road. And you can get a set for less than $900 if you keep your eyes open for sales. My local Firestone dealer gave me a deal on a Sunday for $840 out the door, but that was three years ago.

Not what I wanted to hear. Just had a set of Duratracs put on over the weekend. Snow is a-cummin'. With only a hundred or so miles, I'm not really qualified to review them, but I don't notice them being really loud. They have to be better than the worn down SR-A's that they replaced though. Had all 4 tires spinning to get the boat out of the water on my last outing. Those tires scared the hell out of me.

They get loud on the freeway. Noise is fine otherwise. I have a quiet Ecoboost so noises really get noticed.

The Duratracs go through water puddles like nobody's business. There... I said something positive.
