Duratrac vs Ko2

[Jimmy68]

Super swamper TSL suck on ice and rain. I love my Duratracs. 33x12.5. Ice? No, but they work. Wife's car with winter tires is better.
KO2? Haven't run them. People seem to like them.
Sounds like you wouldn't be disappointed with either.

Why do you think those river race cars (whatever you call them) use skinny tires, less drag through the water while getting the most traction.

Or you mean boats with wheels?

Yeah those. I know it is a extreme comparison. Just trying to prove a point

THe BFG Ko is our best selling aggressive truck tire. It has a deep snow rating and works very well for an aggressive tire. Its our go to tire in Southern ontario

I can agree. A tall deep lug paddle tire works well on a boat for thrust in water.
Off to work in my wide tired, Duratrac equipped 4x4 truck.

I will say the best all around tire I had was mickey Thompson Baja claws I had on a jeep grand cherokee I owned. Hardly had to use 4wd

Actually, all of these situations I have done and still do.
I was doing this before you were born. You've been driving about 10yrs? Or less?
I've been doing this for over 30yrs. For play and work.
6" and 12" were used as an example. Think outside the box.
Your tires vs dads tires. Unless they were the exact same tire except size, bad comparison.

They were the same tire or I wouldn't have bothered comparing them

If your vehicle is struggling in two to three feet deep snow and you regularly drive in it, get a new higher horsepower engine.
If your struggling in 6" snow, your engine is ******.

Vehicles these days mostly have traction control! So even if you had a hemi, if your slipping, power would be reduced to a 1.5 Honda engine!!

False. The key is traction. The larger the footprint, the more traction. Tires dont "cut" through the snow, they compact it. They aren't Moses.

When I buy out Nitto, I'm going to redesign every tire. One of them will be called "Moses", because it will do that sht.


IMO

Really? Comparing these to traction in the snow? MORE FOOTPRINT = MORE TRACTION. Simple. This is why off road rigs, "Airdown". They increase the footprint of the tire and thus increasing the traction. They do it on snow as well.

I know right.

I bet the narrow tire people also think 4wd helps you stop faster.

Off road doesn't always transfer over to the street

It doesn't?

 

[wsutard1]

It doesn't?

Oh it does. You should try it next time it's slick out.

So driving in a white out last night should count, right? (pic doesn't do it justice, this was the best visibility we had) 5 mph for 30 miles of 0 to minimum visibility

From the picture you took you weren't driving. Must of been your wife driving.
