Thanks for all the replies. The DuraTracs I have are studded so I have to take them off June 1. The shop that studded them did a bad job however. Some of the studs are buried so deep they are useless. I did see a tire that has big lugs with lots of siping not just the one through the tread so many come with. That might be interesting. I'll have to look into those Nittos.
Look how useful those new studs will be when the tires wear down to them.
