I've had my Duratracs for about a month now and wow they are very quiet. I'm wondering if they stay quiet like this through out of the life cycle or will they get louder over time? Thanks.

Theyl stay quiet as long as you ROTATE, ROTATE, ROTATE! I learned that the hard way, (foolishly I didnt for about 9000 mile) they got a bit loud but now there all good nice and quiet again.

My bro had em and great traction tire horrible on noise though. First 15-16k was quite after that headache city. He rotated every 4-5k. It sounded like a huey helicopter coming down the road

All aggressive tires will get a little louder as they wear down, especially if they aren't rotated frequently.

Im looking into these tires for my next set. Have heard great things. Right now im running BFG M/T 35s and I cant hear myself think when I drive on the highway without blasting the radio to get rid of the "humming"
