I haven't run Duratracs on my Raptor (yet) but I do have them on my FJ Cruiser. They are a great tire in almost all conditions and I will be putting them on the Raptor when the stock tires are done.

FYI - One of the top three largest oil companies in Canada will only put Duratracs on their field trucks. These are trucks that see HARD use in every condition (pavement, gravel, logging roads, serious mud, ice roads, winter, summer etc) and are often carrying fairly heavy loads (for a 1/2 ton truck). The guys driving the trucks love the tires too.

Wow those look great. I'm stuck with the same debate. Duratracs or the ridge grapplers. Get quite a bit of snow here sometimes so leaning toward the Duratracs but really like the aggressive sidewalk look of the RG's. Someone just needs to take my money and decide for me already

Yea it's a tuff choice....had Duratracs on my old king ranch and they were great....prob only put 20 something thousand on them before I sold the truck so can't tell you how they wear...we don't get too much snow in Northern VA so I went with the RGs...I can tell you from owing both the RGs are definitely more aggressive looking in person then the Duratracs...the Duratracs are snow flake rated and can be studded... if I still lived in MA I would have gone Duratracs for sure

Depending on how you use your truck the Nitto will have a much tougher sidewall. The Duratrac has a relatively think sidewall in comparison. It's also why the Duratrac is so light!
