Huh? It was censored.

Lol, you're gettin' doxxed by rvnet, Matt!

Not me, but do agree with what was first paragraph
"Opinions...... stink ??!

I also agree with grits long winded GY Duratracs comments. I'm about 20k miles. The front edges do wear quick! I'll swag my city driving at 80%,is causing this issue vs grit having 80% highway driving speeds, does not cause issues like mine.

I can't hear tone on a piano above an octave above middle C between Eand F kekeys. I hear E tone, F I hear hammer hitting the wire tapping. I hear these tires! Yes great in snow, not so great on sheet ice/snow, not enough micro sipping. After market sipping voids warranty! Boo hiss!!!

Should've stuck with Cooper AT3 like I had on 2500, both sons have on their trucks.

While I’d like to say that all the city driving and turning is the cause, I don’t think it is.
Like you said this set of Duratracs is primarily wide open (fairly straight) highway duty.
Last set like 10+ years ago we’re also on a basically new truck. That truck was also primarily highway miles but high speed curves. 100mi round trip of mountain driving including Glenwood canyon at the fastest speeds the traffic, weather or the fact it was a truck and not a Corvette allowed.
Same exact wear behavior and noise out of the front tires. And those also lasted much longer than average although I did have them flipped on the rims once due to wearing the outer tread down much faster due to cornering speed and wear.
Never rotated a set of tires more than these. Every oil change or so both trucks I’d swap them front to back and they’d quiet down for a few tanks of gas and then back to the racket.
I’m pretty sure the only thing one could do for those tires to keep them from resonating in the cab is recycle them or never drive over 40mph!

The ones I’ve got now I skipped the last rotation because I was either going to put new tires on it about now for winter or quit my job. I quit so I’m turning the truck over to my worthless sack of monkey ____ new boss in a week or 2. This guy’s so lame, he’s still driving my old 2016 company truck…..lol. And told me “he gets my truck” when I leave! LOL. What a dufus.
I’m gonna tie a zip tie with a washer on it on the driveshaft to compliment the tire howling!
He’s the kind of guy that will take it to the Chevy dealer for a “bad noise” without even looking under the truck.
