New Duratrac RT Tires
Thanks to Bob I will be getting the new Duratrac RT tires this weekend 
As these are brand new to the market, Bob asked me to keep him updated as to real world performance, so I will use this thread as such.
If anybody else has these tires or will be putting some on let's hear your stories.
Note they will be on a 2015 Chev Silverado 1500 4x4 with 275/65/R18.
Thx again Bob
Cheers
WDF

I put a set of 285/75R16 on a 2006 Chev 2500 diesel before. Great tires. Were surprisingly quiet for how big and bulky they were. I think you will enjoy.

Looks like from a quick look, no stud holes.
I would assume as well the rubber would be a bit of a different compound to be a bit harder, as they are not studdable, so like a dedicated mud tire.

I think you're mistaken... He's talking about the new DURATRAC R/T, not the regular (old) Duratracs.
They look almost identical, but no stud holes - more sipes - and different compound IIRC.

Yes, so the RT has new compounding, more siping and no stud holes as well as new sidewall styling. The new compounding and extra siping is proclaimed to be quite an improvement in winter traction but again it is so new that I have zero feedback as of yet from real world clients.

Sizes are just starting to trickle in. Message me exactly what you are looking for size wise, ply rating etc and I will see if they are available. I don't publicly discuss pricing on the open forum but AO member certainly do get discounts...

Thanks for clarifying. I’m hopeful they have made a marked improvement in performance.

With the smaller lugs and a bit more sipes is my hope. I really like them except for the real hard compacted snow or ice.
Will let y'all know once I get them.
