Duratrac's. ...NOT IMPRESSED
#21
Nope, not wondering. Got 20 years of WI driving under my belt.
But you seemed to miss my point in my original post.
I made no statement about comparing different types of tires in snow driving. I was saying that you can't compare someone else's comment about Duratrac tires in snow to your test because you have no idea of what type of snow they were driving through and the type of snow can make all the difference in the world.

Seemed to miss my point. ....put the two tires on the same jeep in whichever type of snow you are experiencing and they will both slide and lose traction practically identicaly....again, in which ever snow type it is. We did it....packed, deep and slushy. Didn't matter.

Ok, I'll say this again more slowly...
Your original post stated
I am not arguing that different tires act differently in snow. What I am saying is that ONE type of tires will act differently in different types of snow.
Make sense?

These people were not comparing two different types of tires. They were commenting on their opinion of the Duratrac in snow.

my whole point was....
It didn't actually differently. It acted just as shitty. In......wait for it....different types of snow.
Again, point was, they are not good in the snow regardless of type.
Snow tires are good in the snow.
People have stated in many threads that the DT's were SO much better than whatever mud tire they had before.....I called bullshit. We tried it

So you were able to test in all sorts of different types of snow in just one night. Wow, you must live in a strange place...

Regular powdery 6" untouched snow on the field and the street was melting from Salt and was slushy.

You heard it here first folks, let it be known that Jay has deemed the Duratrac a shitty tire based on his extensive and through testing.

Oh and look at a few of the posts before your righteous one....they said the same thing. ..they weren't good in the snow.
Even someone that owns them!...wait, maybe it was even driven in 87 different types of snow?

So what was the point of the test again....??
Sounds like you all can't drive in snow or you all have crappy tires, I don't get the point of singling out one brand of tire other than you don't have them and are jealous of the friend that does.
The test was pointless and is only used to confirm so made up gripe you have about the tire.

Did you remember me also saying my tires and Toyos sucked in the same conditions just as bad?

Seriously, a high void unsiped tire performed the same as a low void heavily siped tire on slushy conditions! I guess I'm crazy for wishing I had my DuraTracs again the 3 months it snows here.
