Literally everybody not running a spool will get much more miles out of these than I am getting
No they won't! Absolute worst complaint I receive on them is how quickly they wear. I've seen em down to bald in less than 15k, and I can barely recall anybody getting over 30k on them, though I have a customer who claims he got over 50k. I still think he was recalling the older KO, not the KO2
What do you consider to be an equivalent tire for overall performance that would last longer?
Went on a road trip with the tires at 25 psi this weekend and it did not effect mileage at all. I actually got 19 mpg pulling passes and corners in the mountains, best tank I ever had. I'm not saying the lower psi and flatter footprint got better fuel economy, but it certainly didn't hurt it any.
Went a did a bit more snow wheeling on a guys rec/cabin place on the club's "Christmas Tree Run". His road is just roughed in and very steep, snowy with ice underneath from quads and a sled polishing it. These tires did totally awesome. Lost of highway ice and snow all the way there and the tires felt like they were on dry roads. Again, the snowflake emblem is no joke. These are champion winter tires.The only issue I had wheeling was driver error because the second trip up the climb I chose to be in high range and actually had too much traction and powered out right at the crest of the climb. I jammed it into low but at that point I was right on some glare ice on a steep grade at the crest and a dog leg left hand turn. I could hold my spot but couldn't get going again. Winch wasn't spooling in so I backed down a bit and ended up bonking a tree on the passenger side.After about 5 years I finally put a dent in this thing!
You're destined to wheel with the WA boys as that's their favorite location to store their dents.
Yep-Yep-Yippy-Kiy-Yay! i'ts a toyotey!
Wouldnt increasing your tire pressure even out the wear in the middle?
I got a flatter footprint at about the mid 20s psi range but still a pretty round tread face. 30-35 psi kept me totally on the center treads. These tires want to be pretty round on an 8" wheel. I think they need to be on 10". Your duratracs are pretty flat on a 71x9 aren't they?
I am trying the 10" on my next set of 12.50s. I hope they don't stick out so much that the cops are always pulling me over .
A 10" wheel will flatten out the tread more, allowing you to run a higher psi, you should be able to run 35psi when warm w/o rounding the tread. I run that same psi on both my 33 AT's and 35 MT's on 15x10's, and have consistent where pattern across the tread.
