I can vouch for the poor balancing, Guy i carpool with to work has them on his full sized and anything over 70 they start to shimmy in the front, His only have about 6000 miles but they are still quite. These tires do kill it in the snow though!

 

I have the 315s, have had them for about 25k miles, and yes I have the shakes. Usually above 50 mph, and with some stops I feel the shake in the wheel. Had them balanced recently, but I don't think they did a very good job so I'm going to have it done again and will likely try the beads as I've heard good things about them.

However, even with the balancing issues, these tires are just plan awesome. Yes they get a little louder overtime, but nothing like most of the other MT tires I've used or heard. They also perform amazingly well in everything I've thrown at them. Last time I was out I watched the guy in front of me struggle over and over up a muddy recently rain soaked hill and he eventually gave up. I tried it next and cruised right to the top with no issues what so ever... He even had his lockers on and I don't have any, so yeah I was sold on these tires.

 

I have 315/75/16 and they are amazing. No shakes, and I've taken it to 95, and amazing in the snow! Drive right out of even this much snow:





Wish they made it in a larger size for my eventual need to get larger tires!

 

I recently got the 265 70 17 load range C. No balancing issues, very low noise, ride and handle great. Haven't had them long enough to report on the longevity or noise as they wear, but initially I'm very impressed with them.

 

I have 285/75/16's and they are great. Had them on my 2010 for 10k miles @ swapped them to my 12 and now have 6k on them. I also am on my second set on my work truck. First set was 30k with no problems and they routinely (daily) see high speeds with no vibrations.

 

I have 3312.50r15's...and love them. Just got back from a 1200 mile road trip on them. A tad loud, but not too bad - most likely cuz I have a soft top. No shakes or shimmies (did 80 on the freeways). I recommend them.

 

I installed my 275/70/18's just over 2 weeks ago and love the them. Almost no road noise I'm currently running them at 34 lbs. I think 30 may be a better ride but I will wait till my AEV Pro Cal arrives to fix the tire pressure sensor. No issues balancing them as has been said they take a bit more weight than a stock tire but no issues here!

Here are a couple pictures:

 

I really, really wish Goodyear made the Duratrac as a 37".

 

285/70-17's, no balance problems. awsome in snow and ice, great road manners.

rotated every 3-5k and I am currently at...................58,000 miles.

i will put new rubber on this fall so at that point I should be around 65,000 miles.

very even wear

Moab twice a year aried down to 15-18 and great stick to the Moab rock.

 

X2! I'm running 315/70R17 duratracs would love to go back to 37s but I like these tires too much!
