Tires Goodyear or Maxxis
I bought a Trek Fuel EX this year, which comes with XR4 tires. I switched to Maxxis DHR/DHF after a month, and the improvement in grip is very noticeable. On technical climbs, its pretty easy for me to lose traction with the XR4 when I'm putting a lot of power down on a steep section. With the Maxxis tires on those same climbs, I never spin out. On the other hand, the rolling resistance is higher.
I have Goodyear assurance triple treads on my 97 Town Car. 5 years old and over 100,000 miles also! Almost $400 each but well worth it.
Maine here. I have Duratracs on my 3rd gen and BFG KO2s on my 2nd gen. They do make more road noise than the KO2s, but seem like they would perform better than them in deep mud and snow. Comparatively, going from stock all seasons, my 2nd gen lost a little MPG with KO2s, my 3rd gen had a larger difference in loss of MPG with the Duratracs. The Duratracs also seem to fling up fewer small rocks and stones than the KO2s, which I definitely appreciate.
My buddy ran them for years on his first gen. They are great tires. Did well in any season British Columbia had to offer. They last a long time too.
I have them on my Tacoma! There is a bit of road noise with them but nothing that is too unbearable. Living in Canada I will say that they have been pretty good in the winter months as well!
I had them on a 2 door JK and now have them in 265/75r16 on my Tacoma. I live in Salt Lake City and need something that will be decent on the highway to Moab, just as good on the trails, and get me up to the ski resorts in the winter. I love the Duratracs, they’re load e so they are heavier but I wanted the beefy sidewalls for rocks. I think the AT3W might be a more sensible tire around town, but these things perform great and look the best of any AT in my opinion.
I have duratracs and they're great. Not as good as a dedicated mud but as an in-between absolutely
Good tires, good in wintery conditions, but noisy and pricey.
In my experience, not a huge fan, on pavement I felt they were loud and squirrelly and wear out pretty wonky.
I’m at 34k on my 17 and need new tires, so yes seems like a few people on here have similar issues. Worst tires I’ve ever owned.
