Duratracs aren't AT's. Neither are Toyo RT's. Both great tires IMO

 

KO2's

The Toyo AT2 Extreme is my next purchase. 285 60 r 20 or 55. find someone that carries them and go look at them. Les Schwab around these parts. They are an AT with a little extra on the side to make them look more aggressive.

I can not find anything on the AT2 extremes. I am hoping to find them in a 275/65/20

The Extreme is only on certain sizes. I think it's denoted as "XT" next to the tire size or in the tire specs.

KO2's

I am curious as to why you say Duratracs aren't AT's?

It doesn't matter a great deal but when I go to a Fountain Tire, they call them all terrains and they are very similar to BF AT's in spacing. I have never seen a mud tire rated for winter......

Its more of a hybrid but its more an AT

Just my opinion. I feel it's more of a hybrid type tire as the Toyo RT is between the Toyo AT and MT's. Don't get me wrong. I still feel it's an awesome tire. I just don't classify it as an AT that's all. Ridden in vehicles with both the KO2's and Duratracs. Duratracs had more road hum and a bit more vibe/rumble at slower speeds.

 

For what it's worth I am running KO2's right now. Super tire in all climates. Amazed me in snow how well it drove. In April truck is scheduled for a 6" lift and 35's and I'm gonna try out the Toyo RT's. More aggressive look and ride.

 

But as I said it's simply just my opinion...and we all know what opinions are like! ; )

thanks. Will a LT285/55R20 fit on these? I have a 2" level.

Yes, it's just a hair wider than stock

 

Another common choice is 275/60-20, same width but taller than stock

 

Both of those tires will fit a 2014+ stock, you don't even need a level

Toyo M55's are aggressive and long wearing if you aren't on graveled roads

I am in this market too. Price on the Toyo at 2s is hard to beat. I think that is what I will end up with.

I've got the AT 2's. Pretty happy with them. Got about 30k miles on them and the tread barely looks worn.

Looking around for A/T's for my Silverado as well.

 

I have a set of Goodyear Duratracs on a Jeep Wrangler. Good tires, but only had them about 20k miles. Great on dry rock, as well as wet pavement. OK in slick stuff and snow. Tread-wear seems to be consistent with mileage, but time will tell. I'd expect at least 50k out of these Duratracs, and so far, we seem to be on track :)

 

I also had a set of BFGoodrich AT KO's on a Jeep. I wouldn't hesitate to go KO or KO2 on my Jeep or Silverado. They're quiet, and have good traction in all conditions. Quieter than the Duratracs at 20k, that's for sure.

 

I'm also looking at the General Grabber AT2's based on price for the truck. Nice design, good reviews, great price. All these tires are LT, not P.

 

...Looking at the Dueler H/T's on my Silverado and thinking they're weak-sauce...they've been OK on the road, not great on slick/wet stuff. 11k miles and counting. OK for my uses, but they just look out of place on such a big truck.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
