Continental Contitracs

[taterthedog]

Hate them. Worse tire in snow I've ever had. My truck is stuck in my driveway again. Was late for work Saturday night because got stuck turning around in driveway. Came home this morning and got stuck again. Time for some more suitable tires. Maybe Duratracs? Wonder if 325/65R18s on factory wheels will fit with no lift.

Toyo AT II could be another option for you as well, Michelin LTX MS2 is another but really a dull highway tire like the Conti but with much better performance. Duratrac is a heavy tire as well, as well as the width you want to go won't help either.

Duratracs X3. LOVE mine. Mud, snow, dirt, sand, wet pavement, dry pavement, mileage. All ive come across, no problems. 18k miles on mine with a ****ty ttb front axle, good rotating habits, and they still look brand new.

325's fit my truck at stock height. No rubbing

Duratracs are awesome in the snow, as i found out last week in our blizzard. Truck ran through 10" of untouched snow on the highway without even flinching, no weight in the bed. Was able to maintain 35-40 in control with out hesitation. Tires are a monster in snow. Just pricey.

Everyone I've talked to with the dura tracs has nothing but good to say about them. The only negative I've heard is they are noisey compared to some other brand tires but that probally expected with that type of tread.

I have cooper discover at3s.. a good bit cheaper than the duratracs. If you can afford them, duratracs are the way to go. I'm definitely happy with my at3s tho. Quiet until 60, had 700lbs in the bed and a plow up front. They pulled the town plows off the road and I still had no problem getting around in 2wd with at least 5" of crap on the road.

Mine have a hardly noticeable hum starting around 70. Very acceptable compared to the trail grappler MT's I had previously.
