How do you like the duratracs? My plan was to go with the BFG's, but I really like the way those look. I'm not going to be doing much off roading, just going more agressive for looks. How do they handle on the highway and how noisy are they? Thanks for all of your input.
So far, so good! I've actually put a lot of miles on them in the week that I've had them mounted. I took a 360 mile round trip on the interstate doing 75-80 mph and I've been all over town with them. We also had some rain yesterday and they were great.
The only thing I can compare them to are the 265/65-18 Bridgestone Duelers that I previously had on there.
Noise: Maybe MINIMALLY louder. And maybe I'm just imagining that they're louder because I'm trying to listen for it. Either way, they are surprisingly very, very quiet for a tread that looks this gnarly!
Highway: They were very mannered. Like I said, noise was not an issue. Even with the tall 70 series sidewalls they were firm and felt good. I was dealing with some nasty 35mph crosswind the entire trip and was perfectly confident with the Duratracs...even when passing semi-trailers over bridges...haha.
Obviously, I cannot attest to their long term wear issues or anything like that. But they look freaking awesome, do not make much noise at all, and have performed well thus far.
BTW, the best price I could find for them was at Discount Tire Direct.
