[QUOTE="tmd11111, post: 1217242, member: 25712"] Although I just got my Raptor last week I do have first hand experience with both tires on my Super Duty I traded in. It was a 2013 F-250 Platinum and within the first week I had it I put on a leveling kit and mounted 325/60-20 Load range E DuraTracs. I rotated the tires every oil change which was between 7-7.5k. As for road noise they had a sleight hum but nothing like straight up M/T's. As for handling in the mud, snow, ice and rain they were amazing. I replaced them at 68k and they still had enough tread to go another 5-10k but had some up coming road trips so thought it was best to be safe than sorry. I replaced them with the same sized KO2's due to all the hype I head about them. IMO on a Super Duty that was a big time mistake. Wet handling sucked, tires would break loose accelerating in the rain with the cruise control. Only advantage they had on the Duratracs was that there was less road noise. The rims they were mounted on were 9" wide. With the Duratracs I could run that at 60 psi and have the whole width of the footprint touching the pavement. With the KO2's I had to drop the rears to 50 psi for the same. A big complaint with the larger sized Duratracs is how much lead it takes to balance them and how little was needed for the KO2's.
