Durivas 250s

Is anyone running Durivas 250s on their dually and if so what's your thoughts on this tire. I have a 2008 Duramax and the tires on it are not worn, but they have aged out. I have the Duravis on the trailer and I like them, but I would like some feedback on using them on my truck. Three's not a lot to choose from on the 225/75/17 size.

Thanks

I don't have a dually just a 2500 Dmax 4x2.

I ran them for years on my truck. My thoughts?

#1 They are a **** good commercial tire.

#2 I thought I would get more mileage out of them. I got about 65,000 out of them. I thought I would get about 80+. About 1/2 towing in very hot weather most of the time.

#3 They are VERY heavy and well built.

#4 They are a very hard tire.

#5 I don't see these tires EVER cracking.

#6 I thought about capping them because the casing was so good.

I broke my promise to myself and went and bought Michelin tires a few months ago. I don't think the Michelin tire are built as well. The Michelin tires ride nicer than the BS. The Michelins are a softer tire. I was assured I would get 70K+ miles out of the Michelins. I don't think that will happen but I don't know and won't know for about 7 to 10 or so years.

All in all the BS were good tires. I was going to buy them again but got the Michelins for $200 bones less and wanted to see what all the hype was about. I was disappointed that I didn't get 80K+ out of the BS though.

That's my take on the whole deal.

They are Bridgestone tires, very good highway tread but if you need all season traction there are other tires that are better suited.

Hankooks are good and not too expensive.
