How's the ride quality? They look beefy as hell. I'd love to know how well they do in mud. I had a set of Toyo AT2s on a Ram 2500 that basically failed to get through 6" of mud (had to be pulled out) & the ride quality was crap (not sure if the H2 suspension would fix that).

When I had my H2, it had the BFGs & was as smooth as any car. You find the ride quality decreasing at all? What did you have before?

Since installed only city driving , had no opportunity to get a on the Hyw however my wife who drive 90% is really happy , she said it rides much better than the previous tires , less noise ,
only thing I felt at very low speeds(10-15mph) is like smalls bumps , like riding over a gravel road , I will post after the weekend when take it to the hYw

I also got new Duratracs about 2 weeks ago. Love them. Better than the BF Goodrich that I had on there. Road noise is not bad at all. It handles great on the highway.
My brother also has the Duratracs on his F250 truck. 30k miles and they are starting to show wear. He is guessing at 40k he will start looking for new tires.


I paid $1,250 OTD mounted and balanced at Discount tires.

Shop told me to rotate these tires every 5000 miles will improve the tread life .
For a heavy truck if I can get 4oooo ( we only do about 8000 miles a year) is good enough

Discount tire had them for $320 now . How did you get it so cheap . did you call them . who mounted/balance ... Just wondering cause I need to replace the tires o my 2 car too

Hey, everybody indicating prices that they paid, it would help if you also posted the SIZE of the tires and how many (4) or (5) for that price.

Prices vary wildly by size.

I'll start - (5) tires, $1600.00 installed for 315/75/16 Duratrac's.

Love me some Duratracs, had them on my T. Unfortunately they don't come in 37s. Fortunately BFG is coming out with KO2s in 37s in the spring, which by all reviews I've read so far claim they are better than the old KOs in every possible way.

Just got the chance to test the tires on Highway .

The Duratrack may be a great tire for offroad , winter and mud but not so good for Highway

Noise level is not so bad , really start to bother me around 70mph and wasnt too bad .

Ride comfort is great on city , going on bumps are much less noticeable

Now the huge drawback is the unstable feeling wile driving the vehicle at highway speeds
the ride comes very unstable , feels like driving a boat , almost scary , may be the sidewall too soft giving a floating feels
I will check the pressure on the tires to be sure it is not part of the issue .
Wondering if anyone got the same problem , an online research show several posts with the same issue but none report for a hummer

Im going back to the shop on Monday , If they cant fox the problem will ask for a replacement .. Yes it is that bad
