Need your input on best tire for Hunting truck Please!

[BBM]

Hi everyone, getting Ram ready for hunting.
If you have any personal experience with the Goodyear Duratrac VS BFg KO2
Please help me decide.
Would like something to work good in snow and on ice(I know they are not ice tires) but if you’ve tried or know anyone that has, which work better?

TIA

Between those 2, I’d choose the Duratrack all day.

I’m running Toto Open Country AT2 Xtremes. They have been fantastic and have over 100,000km on them with 1/3 original tread remaining.

I've run them both.
Currently my truck has the Duratracs on it.
And it seems happy.

Cheers,
Nog

Haven't tried newest KO2's (had the version before which loved to throw rocks).

Currently have Duratracs on Ram 1500 and love them. No plans to entertain other options when it comes time to replace.

I bought Duratracs for my F250 at Xmas, were awesome in the snow and gravel/snow covered roads carrying 2 sleds on a deck.

Soon I will see how they perform in the eastern slope muck.


I like them so far. Bit noisy on the highway but not bad, what can you expect with a tread pattern like that.

Duratrac or Mickey Thompson on my trucks. Like them both. The Mickey Thompson aren't the best on the ice but do well in pretty much all other terrain. I have duratrac on my work truck and they are a good all around tire.

My experience with the duratrac has not been good. Every single tire had to get patched with one having the sidewalk completely blown, well before the lifespan of the tire. I won’t be buying them again.

Duratracks......

i to was looking at either the duratrac for my truck this fall.

A few of you mentioned to run the 10 ply duratrac if running on gravel lots. If you run 10 ply on a 1/2 ton wont that make the truck drive rougher? or do you just run them with a bit less air pressure?

Duratracks are a good tire. Recommended.

Get the 10 ply. Prevents sidewall and rock issues. Here on the Island they use crushed rock as gravel for the roads - VERY sharp. 10 ply required.

I run them at a standard pressure on a somewhat enhanced F 150. Somewhat in that is was developed to be a long range hauler (tranny cooler, overloads, airbags, trailer brakes etc) but was never used as such. I notice no "roughness" to how it handles.

BTW, damn good in mud too!

KO2 or Duratraks are both great tires. Any of these two would be a good choice.
