Duratracs might be good in snow but they'll make you deaf on pavenment.
Loudest tires I ever had.
Never had a problem with KO2's in snow.

K02s are excellent. I’ve had DuraTracs as well. I’m in Alaska and have done the ALCAN on both. Stock KO2s are the best. It’s Ford vs Chevy though...both are great, both will do the job admirably.

I’m unsure if you’re trying to point out the KO2s are good or not with those videos? That’s some pretty solid ice-driving there, I’m actually impressed how well they’re doing. I’ve read somewhere around here and the wrangler forum that KO2s are great in the mud, dry road and in snow. They’re known to be inferior on heavily wet roads and on ice.
There’s no perfect do it all tire but except for the wet traction, the KO2s come damn well close...

The Duratracs are louder than I thought they’d be on the wife’s ZR2. That alone makes me not want them on the Raptor.

So the 315 width must not be a problem. I think I'll give them a go this winter and see. Heck, I've already paid for them.
This is more reasonable than doing what the random dudes on the internet tell you to do
