Thanks all. Good info. I don't want a lot of noise so I will rule out the duratrac as suspected. My buddy had toyo open country and now duratrac and he says the toyo was louder. ( lifted 150)
Decisions.
Where I only put 15 k on the truck a year and have winters I am thinking more of a road tire also. Will look at the cooper and may go back to the Michelins.
My stock Michelins are LTX AT2. Maybe will look at the other defenders or MS.
thanks
Thanks for adding this information. You're much colder up there in Calgary than I in the PNW. But I do hate a surprise snow storm when they do hit and I happen to not have chains on my truck at the time. I decided to give the Yokohama Geolander AT G015 a try. Brand new tire, just came out this year and are mountain snowflake rated. I find that these were actually quieter than my Firestone HT's that came standard on my truck. They seem to be a more on-road oriented all-terrain tire since they lack aggressive shoulders and the lugs tend to be more in-line versus staggered. They also seem to not be as bouncy as my Firestone HT's, yet more compliant in absorbing the bumps and irregularities on the road. Also have a 50,000 miles warranty with these tires unlike the BFGoodrich TA KO2's or Goodyear Duratracs. Only have about 500 miles on these tires as I just bought them and I've been happy with them so far.
