truck tires... General grabber AT2's vs. Goodyear Duratracs

[IZZy]

Looking to get tires soon for my new tow vehicle 1998 Ford Expedition, there is a lot of choices out there but I think I have narrowed it down to the two above.

The generals have good reviews online, come with a 50k warranty and are E load rated, the Duratracs also have good reviews but guys say they only get about 30-40k miles out of them but everybody swears by them and the E rated ones are a bit more expensive than the generals.

I will be using this as a winter vehicle too so the tires I buy must be good in the snow but also perform well in the rain, I know some AT tires suffer in wet conditions, anybody have experience with these two tires?

AT2

They ride VERY quiet for being as aggressive as they are.

My brother ran the AT2s on his 2wd dakota for about 50k ( probably more than 50K but he runs tires until the are slicks...and i mean bald )
My dad ran them on his durango for a while, then he traded it in.

Both say the tire was solid in all weather conditions

I have had the duratracs on my frontier for about 35k miles. They look great and drive great in all weather.
i believe new they had 18/32nds and when i had about 28k on them they were at 12/32nds

i'm hoping to get through the winter with them. ( 3k miles every 2 months )

an apprentice at our shop has them and he has about 50k on them and his tires are about at the wear indicators. he has a Silverado 2500 Diesel and he admits to driving like a douche and not rotating them enough.

i rotate mine every 3k miles with my oil change ( yes i do it myself )

I feel like there is another thread on here as well about this.

DuraTracs seem to be the tried, tested, and true 33" or smaller tire on TCG.

I loved them on the Cherokee. Wish they made em in 35x12.50 because they'd be on the Wrangler.

I had a set of AT2s on my blazer last winter and I hardly used 4 wheel drive because they gripped so well. They were also VERY quiet, even at highway speeds

I am leaning towards the generals, at $155 a piece for 265/75/16 you cant beat it

I wasn't necessarily saying that it was a repost or anything I just felt like there was some really good info before in whatever thread it was that may have bhelped.

I ran duratracs on my f 150 and they were great in all conditions. Especially the snow. Before winter hits I will be throwing a set of 33s on my burban.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

I had maxxis big horns ( MT ) on my wrangler and never had an issue with rain or wet snow.
they wore way to quick.

i would love to buy the dura tracs again, but i may be looking to save a few bucks.
may go with the Hankook ATM RF10 or cooper discoverer ATP
