I have not been very impressed when I’m in mud or on ice. I don’t think any tire is good on ice though, so I’ll let that slide. As far as snow, I haven’t had them in deep stuff, but they’ve performed well in storms when I’m on pavement. Once the truck goes in 4WD I’ve never had an issue getting out of anything, even when pulling my tool trailer.
Can’t directly speak to them, other than to parrot a friend who has. I’ve ran a number of sets of its predecessor, the Discoverer S/T. They were marginal to bad in snow and ice unless you siped them. They were also pizza cutters (235 cm width) and probably at way too high PSI, so I’m reluctant to try and translate any of that to the current model.
I have them on my truck, so far I'm really liking them. Good traction in all conditions that I've driving in, and I do tow heavy once in awhile and have about 15k miles on them and they still look hardly worn and my truck is a diesel so it's a heavy pig.
Siped my bad. They are only slightly noisier than the Cooper AT3's I've used for quite a while. 2nd year with these and they seem to be wearing about the same as the AT3's. The extra traction is really noticeable in snow, dirt, rocks.
Currently have them on a ’19 Chevy 2500 Duramax, 285/75-20. ‘14 2500 Duramax 275/85-18. Quiet up to about 16000 mi. they don’t wear even across the tire profile, (to be fair I’m not as diligent as I should be rotating). Recommended by my tire dealer, both trucks started getting slow leaks on the right front
after about 10000 mi. When we dismounted we found the aluminum pitted where the rubber met the wheel bead. My other local tire shop said they are seeing this with the newest Nitto’s. I’m going back to BFG’s, not real happy with them, especially at their price point. Just better than the alternative. We run a lot of limestone gravel with moderate to heavy loads, so 25000 is about all you can expect before the flats come, unless you run Michelin MTx. Then you get stuck in dewy grass and throw every rock you run over. YMMV.
I had the Duratrecs on my old superduty. Great all around tire for all around weather and field conditions in IL. Also towed with them and they held good. I now have a set on my F150 and am curious how many miles I will get out of them. Road noise is minimal.
