Glad it was close to home Bob. No snow here yet. It's coming though. Sure would be nicer with fresh sneakers on. Just sayin'

LMAO! I can't seem to decide on what I want. A buddy at work just got Duratracs on his Duramax. They look pretty awesome, but spendy and a little too aggressive for my needs.

Have I mentioned they look awesome?

They do too!!! Dick from the MA chapter has them on his F350 reg cab. I am a little envious of them. They look mean in a good way. You are right though, very spendy .......Quiet for such an aggresive tire. Ride smooth too.

I have considered the Duratracs for the Excursion, as it will need new shoes before the winter is up. My only concern is how noisy they will be on road and ride quality

The only opinion I can give is from riding in my buddy's Duramax. It's an 06 extended cab, 4wd, 2500. I rode in it with the crappy all seasons it came with, and quite a few times after he had the Duratracs installed. Ride quality was the same, interior noise went up slightly.

My concerns would be how long they'll last, especially with all the highway driving I do.

Morning gang, it's hump day again.

I have had good luck with the BFg mud terrains. They last a ton of miles, and are only slightly noisy in the cab.

Hopefully this summer I will get around to the lift for my 04 superduty which will meAn I need to purchase new tires for it. I've been looking at the Toyota open country mt's for a while. 37" tires on 20" wheels limit your applications when u start considering price/longevity/noise/ride quality.

Even in the snow? I have no first hand experience, but I though general concensus was that mud tires suck in the snow...
