Duratrac as a DD compared to other ATs for highway noise

I love my Duratracs. I had Dick Cepek FC IIs before, but I think the Duratracks are better overall performers. They are absolutely remarkable in the sand--just returned from Colorado and one of several trails I ran included Medano Pass which takes you onto the back side of the dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park. In June, Tower Arch Trail, another very sandy one, was a piece of cake. Very quiet tire on the highway during over 7K miles of trips these past few months--extremely pleased with overall performance.

I don't think my 315s are that much louder than the Duelers they replaced on the highway. They are suprisingly smooth and quiet on the road and perform beautifully offroad. If I get to a point where I can wheel more often, I might....might consider a more aggessive MT. However, for a DD and a rig that wheels once or twice a month, this tire is awesome. Plus it looks mean for an AT tire. I would gladly recommend it and will likely purchase it again.

Just got them today!
Well I did it. I swapped my 285/75/17 toyo ATs for a set of 285/70/17 duratracs. So far I am really happy with them. They are a bit louder than my other tires but look way better and run super smooth.
