They were better than okay for us. Rode well, quiet, good grip and wear was excellent, always over 100k on them. are there better tires? Of course there are, just like there are better vehicles than the ones I was driving with them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I didn't like is they don't have that aggressive look. Which the BFG's do. I'll second that. Great tire!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran them all on a fleet of 20 vehicles and they were everyones favourite and always the longest lasting. Granted that was 5 years ago now, so maybe there is something better, but I just put a new set on my personal truck and am still very happy with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burndog Posted March 25, 2024 Share Posted March 25, 2024 My Silverado came with Duratrac, put 85K on em, way too noisy, glad to wear them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted March 25, 2024 Share Posted March 25, 2024 Tire rotation is key to any tire, especially a tire that has an aggressive or semi-aggressive tread pattern. On my second set of Duratrac tires, first set had 100k. I’ve had good luck with them so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight 6 with Desert Dogs. Those tires are so loud, that he lost his muffler on the way to skewl one day, and didn't know it 'till he got there. Found it on the way home. . 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that most ski hills closed down already? It will have snow on it until May and often small patches are still visible into early June.

Arctic JC Posted March 27, 2024 Share Posted March 27, 2024 Skied there on Friday with the family, conditions were great, good temps and fresh snow all day. We didn’t see any brown patches, bonus day out for us, nice to have one more “winter” day. My little guy took to skiing well this season, no issues making it down the bunny hill without falling. He’ll be 3 in June. My wife’s in for some competition next season. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be 3 in June. My wife’s in for some competition next season. Very nice. Reminds me of taking my kids when they were three, surprising how well they do at that age. Under three is pretty impressive though! I could not last on the bunny hills all day, so I asked the staff if I could take them up the lifts to bigger hills, susprised that I could, so off we went and did not have return to bunny hill until they were 6 and had to earn their stripe to move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bunny hill does make for a long day, I tried to get a few runs in here and there throughout day to split it up. It is surprising how well the little ones do, the lack of fear, or feeling of pain definitely helps. Some of the most fun he had was falling and being covered in snow, and laughing his butt off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re:Leaf Posted April 1, 2024 Share Posted April 1, 2024 A Colorado low will/won’t/might bring snow to the Whitney area this week. Frustrating to see at the end of the sled season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
