So its come time for new rubber and Ive got it narrowed down to three choices and I am looking for some feedback on them before I make the big purchase tomorrow.
#1 Goodyear Duratrac. Love the looks and from what Ive heard it sounds like a great tire. It is expensive however and also does not carry a tread life guarantee or a road hazard guarantee.
#2 BFGoodrich All terrains. Dont know much about this tire other than the tire salesman highly recommended it and the sales price is close to the Duratrac's.
#3 Cooper Mastercraft At2. Had know clue about this tire until I went in tonight. Tire looks pretty sweet and also carries a 60,000 mile tread life guarantee and road hazard insurance. The tire is also 45 dollars cheaper than the others.
To be honest I was really set on the Duratrac but after I went in I dont really know what to do. Im looking for some honest feedback on these tires

I had to buy new tires in the middle of the trip and having only few choices went for Chinese 14 ply tires that retailed at around $120. Had 9000 lb payload at the time on my dually and the tires hold well. I put about 3000 miles on them and am watching the thread wear.
Obviously you don't expect any comfort having dually wheels inflated to 100 psi.

I use the truck mainly to haul and as a work truck, it hardly ever tows, and will be my daily driver. However I snowplow in the winter (not in my truck) and will come home during snow storms from college 2 hours away to work so having a good snow tire is very important. I also off-road on the weekends so I was looking for a tire that can hold its own off-road. I know with an aggressive tread pattern they will wear quicker but that is not a major concern.
