As a 1 ton owner that lives in northern Minnesota, these are amazing tires, from summer to winter they do it all and have kept my super duty out of trouble so far, also extremely quiet!
I double that I live in the southern twin cities and have always ran these on my dmax’s and my 6.0 never been stuck do very well In the heavy rain going to florida and back
I bought a used F250 Jan 10th in North Texas. It came with a brand new set of Sailun AT tires. After I looked them up "never heard of that brand" I wanted to hate them. Being a cheap bastard I said I will get better when these wear out. Well, we just went through ice-megedden here and I drove across the DFW Metro mess everyday in 4high. These tires worked great in the snow and ice! I was actually very surprised just how good the truck did and alot of that was on the tires.
I have never even heard of Sailun but hey, if they are good keep em goin. I have no problem with off brand stuff especially when you can find a solid contender of the more expensive stuff.
I put 60k on my last set and when I had them changed one had a big nail in my front and lost no air. I won’t suggest them in snow unless they are narrow with studs. On road they hold a corner at high speeds. In mud they rocked. The 10 ply are going to ride a bit rough but it’s worth the performance and the price difference was like 50 bucks.
Love this series. I hate when people call others liars. Because we all have good intentions, but what I find is life happens and the best intentions find there way to the back seat, then we just forget. Especially at my age. So I say to those that are quick to call others liars to think of that before pointing fingers. Especially the middle one. Papa P. P. S. The Goodyear’s that are OEM on my Cadillac have been great. Plus I am unable to rotate because the fronts and rears are different size in width and they have been excellent. No cupping or abnormal wear. 👍💰
Thanks Marty. I thought it would be a good idea go revisit some older stuff for anyone looking for more info. I dont mind being called a liar, its usually in good fun (I think). Ive never had a car with different size front and rear, that would be annoying for maintenance lol. What kind of caddy is it?
@@martyportersr7008 oh that’s awesome. I have a lot of GM in my family. My grandfather retired GM Powertrain in Buffalo, uncle works in Spring Hill, TN and I’ve always been a GM guy. My 15 Sierra however has been a total nightmare and has me a little soured.
The trick to milking the most milage out of these tires is staying on top of rotations. I would always do a cross rotation so RR to FR, RL to FL. FR to RL, FL to RR. So front move back +crisscross, while the back tires went straight forward. You need to rotate them as often and frequent as possible. It could be that I started slacking on rotations, could have been due to 30k+ milage on them. But at 30-35k miles they became too noisy for me. At long highway intervals it was distracting even with the upgraded Bose system in my AT4. Just a constant whawhawhawhawha for hours on end drove me crazy. And yes they do really, really well in snow. That I will miss about them. But the loss in mpg plus road noise isn't worth it to me personally.
I'm from Rochester NY and live west now. I also ran Duratracs on my 1500 Silverado. I also do drone work for photogrammetry for work. Are we related? hahaha Switching from Ko2 to Duratracs for my F250... Stumbled across your channel.
I have the similar truck, mine is a 2015 Sierra All Terrain Duratracs were original equipment. I am curious, you had a vibration issue with your truck was it related to the duratracs at all?
I’m a big nitro guy. I have 35 12.50 ridge grapplers on my 17 z71 and they have about 35,000 miles and are about half tread. Probably don’t ride as nice as these though.
@@GearsGadgets I’ve had terra grapplers, ridge grapplers, and trail grapplers over the years. I’d say the ridge grappler is a good happy medium. It performs well in the mud and wetlands in eastern NC but is still quiet. Also, a 285/75/18 is a fantastic size on these trucks. The 12.50 is much too wide. I wish I had enough gotten the metric size.
The tires do get louder with age but hardly anything I would complain about. The tread warranty is just prorated and it wouldnt have been worth more than like $50, I didn't even bother with trying to claim tread life warranty because I was really happy with how they held up and driving in the Arizona heat chews up tires a little quicker.
I have duratracs on a Ram Rebel. They are sooo damn loud. I just went to a Goodyear Store and inquired. They offered me 50% a new set. I’m terrified to get another set of them. Can anyone recommend another Goodyear knobby tire? I just want some peace rolling down the highway.
@@vspd303 I personally never thought they were loud but that’s also depending on one’s tolerance for noise combined with the sound deadening of the specific truck so I wouldn’t disagree with someone in that point, but it wasn’t my personal experience. In terms of rain, not amazing but also most aggressive tread tires I’ve had are somewhat not great in rain.
For those wondering, they are pretty darn good in snow. I use them all year long in canada

Appreciate the input for the other viewers.

This tire now is updated to RT plus added 3 ply sidewalls. Different sidewall look. great review thank you
ran duratracs for years, work 'em hard, no regrets. rotate every oil change and watch 'em last forever.
Yeah they are awesome tires.
I've had Duratracs on a couple trucks. Solid tire. Take care.
Thanks for the input, I think they are great myself.
It is always a good thing when a product works.
Thanks for sharing
Hooah
For sure!! Thanks for watching!!
These are actually amazing in snow.

It only takes one time to get that feeling, and one time to move to another brand.

I ran mine till almost smooth and still was able to go snow wheeling in multiple feet of snow,just gotta run them low in snow lol.
I'm from Rochester NY and live west now.
I also ran Duratracs on my 1500 Silverado.
I also do drone work for photogrammetry for work.
Are we related? hahaha
Switching from Ko2 to Duratracs for my F250... Stumbled across your channel.
I have Duratrack on a 2004 ford excursion 3 foot of snow is no problem.
Great video dude.
Wet road handling?
What's the mileage max for those tires?
I have duratracks on my 2022 ram rebel GT, great tire , are you rotating them? I also like cooper discovery XLT
I use the Duratracs as well. Fantastic tire. Our Border Patrol out here in San Diego use them too.
Thats interesting to hear border patrol is using them. I would assume KO2's on the border patrol trucks (not sure why)
Good year has government contract we use good years on our police vehicles game wardens use these and we use the AT wrangler on our two police trucks
How do the tyres drive In the wet and cornering?
....follow up Friday!...sounds good to me!😉👍....nice review....thanks for sharing!....stay safe out there!!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦
Thanks I appreciate that... you stay safe as well.
I have the similar truck, mine is a 2015 Sierra All Terrain Duratracs were original equipment. I am curious, you had a vibration issue with your truck was it related to the duratracs at all?
Nope. My truck had vibration from day 1 and it came with Bridgestones. Tires didn’t seem to make the truck any better or worse in terms of vibration.
Driving in AZ is harder on tires than some other places. 36k miles isn't short or surprising.
Absolutely. The road temps are insane here.
What about highway driving?
Wat size u go with
I’m a big nitro guy. I have 35 12.50 ridge grapplers on my 17 z71 and they have about 35,000 miles and are about half tread. Probably don’t ride as nice as these though.
I have never run Nittos, I have looked at and considered them though.

Had terra grapplers on a tahoe. 2 sets. Great tire.
What happened with the tread warranty? Did the tires get louder as they wore down?
The tires do get louder with age but hardly anything I would complain about. The tread warranty is just prorated and it wouldnt have been worth more than like $50, I didn't even bother with trying to claim tread life warranty because I was really happy with how they held up and driving in the Arizona heat chews up tires a little quicker.
Better with these tires any shake?
The tires don't make a difference good or bad with the shake in my experience.

Try the Goodyear adventurer. I have them on a 18 Silverado.
I li e in northern New Hampshire so snow and mud are no issue for them
Man up
They are loud after 25k miles and not the greatest in the rain
