I have Duratracs on my truck and after about 8,000 mile other than being loud they seem to be really good tires. I have one that is a little bit louder than they were before rotating them. I have been busy and not had a chance to get it back to the dealer. :jester:

How does it do on highway curves around 70 mph?

I had a set (275-55-r20) for about 5000 miles, I thought they we an ok tire. Handled good in both dry and wet driving conditions.. They do get louder the more they wear.. I had one problem with them, they didn't balance worth a crap... I had them balanced to many times to count.. So finally I traded them in for some nitto Terra grappler g2, and I love them... If you get the duratracs good luck...

I guess im in a pickle because i want a very aggressive AT but i also want extreme handling for fast maneuvers on the highway and a quiet ride. Maybe i need to look for something else, i dont like the fact they howl the more they wear

They do well for what I use them for. Yes they do well on the highway at 70-85 mph, I have had no problems. It sounds like to me you are needing more of a highway type tire. :jester:

The duratrac is a good tire. Ride wasn't the best, but that was a trade off for having a heavy duty 10 ply. They do get louder as time passes but it's not bad. They are awesome in snow/ice conditions. I ran two sets and never had a problem with balancing, ect. Highway driving is just fine with them. I don't think you need to worry about getting loose and flying off the road, just don't put them on your corvette. I wasn't getting as many miles out of them as I thought I should. After my second set I switched to Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx. I've put quite a bit of miles on them and I already know I'm going with another set of Cooper Discoverer next. They have been an excellent tire. Ride and road performance are comparable to the duratrac, but they have been much quieter and I have already got more miles out of them. At the time, Cooper was about the same price. If that is still the case I would say go Cooper, but if the duratrac is cheaper and in your price range, they are still good tires too!

 

This is one of the only photos of my pickup I have on my phone. I had the grille out while I was doing some work to it a while back so ignore that. I'll see it I have any better pics on my computer.

Thanks for the thorough review. It just worries me with the duratrac because i go 130-140 mph with my suburban and my firestone destinations handle perfectly at those speeds 265/70/17. No vibration at all but i still want an AT

I'm getting off topic. I must ask about the 130-140mph. You do 130 on the highway? For like emergency responder or something? And how does that burb go 130 lol?! I wouldn't trust my pickup to do that speed and not flip over or something haha. Is that thing stock?

Uh...limiter off or something? Are you reading in km/h? If somehow you can acutally do that speed...if in fact mph...you need some speed rated tires that are higher than an at tire...just saying...
