The Duratrac is a good aggressive Winter tire. I had that tire on a 2018 ZR2 which of course is nothing like what your running it on. I can say that off road in the Winter that tire is totally impressive. I doubt it would last more than 35K and still have meaningful tread left pulling that kind of weight. However, that is about 3 years away and that may be a better way of looking at it. There are times when the miles you get on a set of tires are important. There are also times when the performance of the tire matters more. If your traveling at 9500 ft through the winter, I would chose a really good Winter tire. I am happy with the Falcon Wild Peaks. They are not as aggressive as the Goodyears, but they are a good Winter tire. We spend 6 months of the year in snow, and few buy Michelins.
Thanks for the reply. Yup the Michelins were great for traveling in good weather. Heck we even took them to AK in the spring and they did great. But they are on their last leg. I'll take a look at those falcons. You do any heavy towing on them?
I have had them on a 3500 SRW for a year and half. That truck is licensed to 30K. They are wearing great. I just put them on a 3500 DRW licensed at 40k. We run those two trucks at max GVW. Too soon to say how they will wear on that DRW truck. I really like how they perform running heavy in the Winter, we have seen a lot of that so far. That Falcon is the best selling pickup tire at the tire shop I use. That says something, large tire shop with a large Ag representation. Every truck I have is now running Falcons.
The BFG KO's are a great tire on ice/snow pack when new. After about 50% it is much less so, and if your towing with that tire, that 50% doesn't last long. They are not a great tire pushing fresh snow, whether new or not.
