New Tires

Hello All,
I have a 2011 F250 4x4 FX4 and am looking for some input on new tires..
My stock Michelins 275/65/20 with 49,000 finally gave out, I am looking at the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac. I do drive in NY snow and beaches, was looking to see if anybody has this tire and has some pro/cons. Thanks

Huh, only 49K out of the michelins?

Must run them hard or don't rotate and balance them enough.

I rotate every 10-12,000. Not really hard on them, I do tow a 9000 lb TT RV

BFG's all terrains T/A's all the way and rotate every 5k will get 60k+ out of them. I have put them on all my trucks.

i have a set of those duratracs in a 275/65/20 on my 2009 f250 had them on for 4 years so far good tire in my opinion there quiet and they don't pick up rocks and throw them at your nice paint job like other tires I've had in the past i get them rotated every oil change

also i live in MI so plenty of snow driving and they do a lot better than the stock michelins that came on it

I have been running the cooper ST MAXX, been great, very quite, smoth and did great in the snow this past winter they also have a very deep tread depth. similar type tread to the duratracs IMO.

I've got the duratrac in 275/65/20 on my truck. I've been very happy with them. Well worth the money.

I ran Cooper Discovery STT's on my previous trucks. They are aggressive and great for mud and snow.

since I am now in a DRW I don't know what I will run. Currently have the BFG's from Ford.

One last thing to consider. The Goodyear Wrangler AT Adventure W/Kevlar. Rated #1 in our size. My stock Michelins were crap after less than 20k in any snow at all. Great highway tread but horrible in the snow. So far the GY's are the best truck tire I've ever owned...

I'm on my second set of Duratrac's. First set was stock size 275/70R18 and my second set is 325/65R18s. The 325s sidewall feels a little squishy at times while driving but I never had any problems with the 275s. Traction is amazing in all conditions, never had any sketchy moments even with my 325s in winter like I did with my BFG AT's. My only real complaints is that I wish they made them in more sizes.
