I was hoping they would bring their IceContact3 to N/A. As that tire performed quite well in reviews.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I think there is quite a bit of tech from that tire into this new one with a few tweaks.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I have the vikingcontact 7 and they were excellent last winter. Great for maneuvering around the morons on shaganppi and 14th st.
I had the hakka 9 studded on my 2015 X5 and of all the winter tires I've had, hands down, they were the best I've used, including R3.
I am going the other way from hakka 9 to r3. Loved the studs but the last few winters have been mild. Maybe I follow what maxboost is doing and get the ws90.

How do you like the the duratrac's on the truck in winter ?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I was pleasantly surprised! I‘d drive in from Water Valley every day and back again on unplowed backroads, compact snow and all kinds of shit without issue. Don’t get me wrong though... On the real icy stuff my winter took it up a notch, but they were totally manageable and wicked in snow!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'll rush out to buy anything Continental right after I get my next set of consumer (non PSS or Cup Sport) Michelin tires so I can report back. Stay tuned for my results when Hell freezes over.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
In the meantime, it's Blizzaks for eternity.
As long as Calgary drivers actually purchase WINTER tires, I guess I'm still for it - even if Continental... It hurts me to say that!
I've got Duratracs on my beater work Suburban and can concur with Bob, only noticeable thing was tire noise on dry roads - they certainly are not the quietest tire I've ever ran.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You just need more engine to cover up the tire noiseThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I love my duratracs year round, really liked them on my jeep too. Never really left me wanting for more tire except on sheer ice.
I guess if you really wanted to you could run studded duratracs in the winter and have another non studded set for summer.

Nah, I just need to get places - I'd actually get a 50-60-70's vintage Suburban in beater looking condition but they're damn near impossible to find.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
See that is funny because mine are not noisy in the least! I suspect many people do not realize they have maybe worn theirs a little lumpy over time and then any aggressive tire is going to get noisy, but new they should not be a noisy tire at all. I guess though driving a Suburban is like a giant speaker box behind you reflecting noise everywhere! lol!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Mine were even noisier when they were new.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I really have never noticed any noise on either my wrangler or Sierra with duratracs.
P’s on the Wrangler, C’s on my truck.

Weird... Maybe you just have that dog hearing that can pick up on noise frequencies outside the norm?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
