I've had 285/75r16 DuraTracs on my truck for a couple months now and I love 'em. They look mean and ride great, real quiet too for the tread pattern.

I have 245/75/17 Duratracs on my f250. Great in the mud, snow, and wet, Ice traction is about what you would expect from an all terrain without studs. Though they are drilled for studs if you wanted.

I can't speak for the stt's, but the duratrac's are awesome tires. When this set wears out I am replacing them with another set.

I have STTs and so far so good. I got them through where I work because the Duratracs at Tire Rack were back ordered almost a month, and I didn't want to get caught in snow with bald tires.

They look really mean, but handle and ride well. They sing at 60+, but it's nothing horrible IMO. So far no problems in rain or dry, we'll see in snow how they are.

Please use periods, commas, and other punctuation marks. That was unbearably hard to read..
