Time to replace the duratracs

[turkeybird56]

Good looking child, next to the truck. OH, BTW, tires look good also...

I went with 35x12.5x17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W’s. Pretty tame looking, but should kick ass this winter.

Did I miss where you posted your pics?
Seeing as your post is a few months old, I assume you are running the STT's? How are they doing for you?
I'm going to pull the trigger soon on either the STT's or KOs.
Going with 315/70 17.

Tires have 2000 miles on them now and love them, no regrets! Look for pics in the Power Wagon section - "Making It Mine".

I took a look at that thread. Your truck looks great! I'm glad you are happy with the tires so far.
My son called them "Snot Knockers" LOL!
What pressure are you running yours at?

i had the RIDGE GRAPPLER ON MY 2500 They were great. used them for plowing snow. had an aggressive look but were quite on the highway.

I went with 315/70/17 STT Pros.

Reuben, I am a bit curious as to how the STT Pros will perform this winter in the Western Slope snow. May go with them on my next set. I went with the ST Maxx based on its snow reviews and the same tire carcass to get through our Colorado sharp granite 4x4 trails.

I’m not really sure honestly. In the really wet stuff is was kinda squirly but extremely predictable. The powder we get up here in Eagle they were great. I bought them for the tough sidewalls. We run a lot of trails around here in the summers and wanted something a bit tougher than the BFGs. The BFGs will obviously be better in the snow but I’m used to this stuff out here so the small amount of snow traction loss was acceptable.

They sound like a winner tire choice for the Western Slope.

For some reason those look a lot more like 37’s than 35’s. Good lookin tire

Ha, I kinda agree too. I see everyone online slapping 37’s under there stock wagon and they look perfect, but when I put these under it I was glad I didnt go any bigger.
Especially with the 4.10 gearing... I could hardly stand it with the stock tires.

It doesnt help that this tire and wheel combo is over 100 pounds. These tires are freekin heavy for a 35”... 25 pounds more than the stockers!

Mounted on the factory wheels, they measure just under 34 3/4” tall.

I love the look of the mud tires. I almost went with that exact setup, even with the white walls out! But I was honest with myself this tire purchase and refrained... I spend a large amount of my time on the road and wanted a true AT tire, mainly for snow performance.

Personally, I don't lurk or comment in the lesser truck threads.

Lesser truck Guess that depends on what you’re after? Some would say power wagon is lesser since it’s a 2500 and has low tow rating. Some would say a 2500 non pw is lesser cause it’s not as capable off-road. Hmmmm I think it’s all subjective imo

I just got them on a few hundred miles ago. Haven't even stuck it in 4x4 yet.

These should be a spectacular winter tire, as well as a good dd/weekend warrior tire. I did a lot of research and never once read a bad review. However, the only thing I know about them so afr is they are super smooth and quiet compared to the duratracs. Balanced well and roll down the road smooth.

I’m digging that sidewalk structure. That’s more than I’ve seen on some at tires.

So far these STT pros are doing well. As I said in another thread, they are very predictable in snow. Not nearly as good as the KO2s, but not bad either. The KO2’s are just in a league of their own when it comes to snow, but the Coopers are supposed to be tough in the rocks and a bit taller than the BFGs. Most of the wheeling I do is in pretty sharp rocks and ledges. Over all I’m really liking them.

I wouldn’t mind finding a set of those wheels to run on mine in the winter.

Not that I really wanted a heavy tire, but that usually translates into a tough tire. These AT’s are basically the same weight as a toyo mt.
