Why no love for Duratracs?

[CrazyCooter]

Get woke and go broke LOL. Not getting political, but as consumers we have a choice. If a brand wants to take a stand or belief...............that does not align with you.....there are plenty of vendors in the sea.

I couldn't agree more! I only want to support organizations who align with my type of social behaviors.

At the same time I personally don't want serve people at my business from the other side of the spectrum either. You will never see a Prius covered in bumper stickers outside my place of business because I would run them out of here before checking them in while gathering the license pate number.

I bounced a potential client and his insurance adjuster out of here around 2008......He first seemed like one of those people I didn't want to be married to AND because of the bumper stickers that were on his vehicle.

All of our local Subway stores went "cashless" and decided to stay that way after covid.......I usually pay with a credit card since were purchasing for business meetings, but the whole cashless society thing doesn't sit well with me. We get our grub somewhere else now.....a locally owned business and pay more for it.....Great tradeoff!

I cannot be bought at any price.........

JL and JLU with KO2s. Love them but my JTD feels really solid towing with 35” Duratracks. I would purchase them again.

I ran them on my JKUR 35's for 3+ years. Loved them. My son has them on his 2005 ZR2 blazer and they have served him well. His tend to have some more road noise then the older ones I had on the JKUR but I attribute to that probably the vehicle then the tires. Maybe they changed compounds on the new ones as we bought them in Oct 2019 vs the ones on my JKUR were 2011 vintage, but either way I would run them again if I found a good deal on them. I have thoroughly enjoyed my Grabber ATX's though (will be 3 years in Oct and have just over 33K miles on the odo.

I’ll start by saying I have no dog in this fight. I’m just trying to learn….

By everything I see online, Duratracs are capable, light, affordable, and even 3PMS rated. So why aren’t more people driving them?

I ran them too on 3 Jeeps then discovered BFG TA KO2s-- good to great! Tires are a personal choice. It's all about finding the features/benefits that fit your needs. Full discloser-- I traded mine by putting them on my wife's Sahara! Lol.

Also, they used to be less $-- not so much anymore

I have had luck with them on both of the GM twins which they came on from the factory and on one work truck that stayed in mud as much as it was on pavement. They weren't as loud as the Falken muds I have on my JTR but they cost more and do not look as good as other tires. I know a few guys who have driven 50k+ miles with them on Tacomas and swear by them. I only put 27k miles on one set because I trade vehicles so often but had zero complaints for a daily driver tire on a mid sized truck

I've had Duratracs for at least the last 7 years on all of my vehicles and think they're pretty amazing, except for wet pavement. Unfortunately, they didn't make a 35 that officially fit the OEM rim on my new Jeep, and I was not willing to 'force' it as some do. I went with Nitto Ridge Grapplers and it's too early to tell if I like them. Snow will be the deciding factor, I think.
