I tried the search, and the search says nothing found. Seems fishy.
Anyone have any real-world experience with these?
I would like some new rubber for my daily driver for winter use as I have to start driving to work again so I can jiggle my mouse from my office instead of my dining room. I normally run Duratracs in 275x??R20 on my GMT k2xx (2015 Sierra). My current Duratracs are 9/32 (come with 16/32) and are past their prime for snow. I sold my last set of tires/wheels because they were crispy and at the beginning of the pandemic people were paying stupid prices for spiderweb wheels.
My current wheels have corrosion also. Same spiderweb. I like the wheels otherwise. I've always been a fan of snowflake wheels.
New Duratracs are $330+tax and so are BFG ATs. So like $1350. Or $1450 if I pay someone to mount them. I have a dynamic electronic balancer but no mounting machine (usually use a manual machine to do patches/plugs). Last time I bought new Duratracs was the end of 2017, and they were $790 OTD mounted/lifetime balanced/old ones disposed of.
So I've been looking at new takeoffs. Around here I can get Bridgestone Deuler AT or Goodyear Trailrunner AT... in 275x55r20 or 275x60r20 on factory wheels with TPMS and center caps for $1250-1650 depending on the wheel/tire combination. The cheap chromed plastic hubcap bonded to the aluminum wheels are at the bottom end with the Duelers and the baller looking two-tone metallic gray with Trailrunners are $1650.
The Duelers are out. They're worse than Goodyear LS2 as far as I'm concerned.
The Goodyear Trailrunner AT seems to be an OEM-only tire. OEM tires are a PITA to find reviews for that are not biased.
The reviews are spotty at best:
The tires only come with 12/32" on them and are typical car tires masquerading as truck tires. They're half an inch narrower in the tread width than the same size Duratrac. I'd keep my Duratracs for summertime until they go bald. I may or may not break them down and blast/respray the wheels.
I'd probably use the Trailerunner ATs until 8-9/32" at which point I assume snow performance would be marginal, then I'd find something else after hopefully tire prices come back to reality. But I don't want to buy them if they suck in wet/snow/ice. My Duratracs are back to regular tires where at 75MPH if I hold the stupid pedal to the floor it goes sideways. And they're marginal in slush. I don't know how long I'll keep the truck, I plan to buy a new one when GM announces the 6.2L is done so I can have one last fun new truck before a lifetime of boring commuters. I'm assuming the Trailerunner ATs will get me through two winters of having to drive to work (250miles per week).
These are $1450 or so:
These are $1600 or so:
