New tires
#5
Lt .. M/S
i like the white letters too. Make truck looks more like a toy
tested yesterday on. Highway , noise was very low for a hybrid mud/street tires
will keep updating
btw the cost was a deal compared with pervious duratrac .copper@258 ... duratrac@340
$120 to mount, balance and alignment (paul tires) very recommended in Miami area

I havent had the time to test the tires but my wife ( daily driver) said they are great , soft ride , less noise ,
I will post wet traction as soon I try and tread wear after a few miles .
So far so good . I really like the look and the white letters
This are 315 OEM size ... I cant go with 37 since I made a mistake with the wheels offset . Even the 35 will rub when full turn . sure it will be worse with those nice 37
If you can go with 37 Im sure will look killer
BTW .. the real measure is 33.5 - 34
I would prefer a true 35 .. Only negative point so far
Update : Wife said on the HYW at 70 mph this are much better than the duratrac no vibrations ,I tried few times to balance the DT correctly but always ended with vibrations , seems a common issue on those DT , the cooper also feels firm , soft ride but firm , the first impression with DT was awful , I remember truck feels like floating , like the tire wasnt even touching the road . not a good feeling .. after a while either it gets better or I get use to it
I will keep updating .

new update just have the time to Drive the truck on Highway for a few miles the ride was much softer than before it feels like I replace all the front end even I can't hear much of the noises when going over a bump
I think this tires absorb the vibration much better than the one before
another Plus was the perfect balancing for Highway the previous tires Goodyear Duratrac was Impossible to run over 65 miles per hour I tried to balance it in three different place and none could have it done
still I have to test the copper in heavy rain
And hopefully can get enough miles
For now this are the best tires so far

The larger the tires, the more difficult they are to balance. I always suggest finding a place a Hunter Road Force machine. Expensive machine but balances tire and wheel assemblies better than anything else out there, period.
Has a set of Pirelli Scorpions once that coudl not balance. Took it to another shop and the machine determined the tires were out of round beyond any possible hope of being balanced. They got Pirelli to replace them and the machine still struggled but it did get the replacement ones in balance.
Hunter even has a link on their page to find a local shop with a Road Force machine. https://www.hunter.com/wheel-balancers/road-force-elite

I run stock size tires.. The goodyear duratrac are know for this problem . There are many online reviewers talking about the balance issue
Thanks for the info about hunter . I will ask next time what they using
This is my 3rd set of tires
For now I can tell you that cooper are the fav
Priced as cheap tires but performance better than the expensive ones
1set Khumo .. Really bad . Noisy , hard ride ,
2 Duratrac ... very bad. Too soft ride at first . Very hard ride at 40% life . Never be able to go over 65mph without having a full massage in the whole body, including passengers
3 Cooper . So far perfect smooth ride , not really quiet but as noisy as khumo , let see after 30% of life is gone
