Plus they wore down fairly quick. Some guys have said they have the same issues with their Duratrac's on 3/4 and 1 tons.


I have had similar issues with my '11 F250. The dealership was very good about trying to diagnose anything/everything mechanical. Steering stabilizer, shocks, tie-rods, etc, etc, etc. Finally came down to some tires just don't have enough sidewall rigidity to run @ the 65PSI recommended. We fiddled with tire pressure a bit and found that BFG ATKO2's needed to be run @ 70PSI and Nitto Trail Grappler @ 75PSI to avoid the "death wobble". I ran 3300Mi last week from rolling @ idle to bumping the limiter @ ~95MPH. Interstate speed limit here in ND is 75, and 80 in MT, I set the cruise @+5 for hundreds of miles at a time. While the tires certainly have some highway noise, there is virtually 0 feedback through the wheel until you intentionally steer. They've been that way from day 1, have 8500+Mi on them now with no re-balance and able to run @ 65PSI.

On my 2500 the recommended tire pressure on my truck is 60 psi front and 80 psi rear. If I get more then a few psi under the recommendation pressure I get a light on the dash.

So in the summer I run 60/62 psi front and 80 psi rear. Winter with my plow on (plow and mount is about 1000 lbs.) I run 66/68 front and 80 psi rear. If I don't add air pressure to the front with the plow on it handles weird. 6 to 8 psi really makes a difference.

My 1500 calls for 35 psi front and rear. I run 40 psi all year long. Anything under that it doesn't handle right. They're D rated tires so a few more psi is ok. Been on the truck since Nov. 2012 and are wearing pretty good.
