Yeah, the Duratracs feel sloppy to me on pavement at all temperatures, it's just a matter of degree. Whenever they are pushed in a corner I can feel those deep lugs wanting to flex and release. Sure, cold weather reduces that a litttle, but tires warm up from highway driving, even when below freezing.I just went from Duratrac for winter driving to the OEM AT Goodyear. The energy efficiency is significantly better with the OEM tires. It's only been a thousand km, but it's looking like I've gone from 275-280 Wh/km (and higher in the cold) down to 230-235 Wh/km in similar temperatures and driving conditions. In real world use, that's big IMHO.
Not to mention, the Duratracs started to feel sloppy on asphalt as the temperature rose above freezing. And were significantly noisier. For me, winter use only.
I don't know what I'll buy when the OEM tires wear out, but the wheeler guys I know around here are unimpressed with the KO2s. Maybe the 3s will prove to be better. Hopefully. And maybe my friends are tire snobs. But energy efficiency is also a big consideration for me, so it will be a careful decision...
The Duratracs do have better traction in some difficult off-road conditions, but the OEM Goodyear Wrangler Territory can match (or even beat) them in many common off-road conditions. I really think the Wrangler Territory are one of the best all-purpose tires for the Cybertruck for those who don't want to run the slightly more efficient All-Season Pirelli.
I'll be on the lookout for a better winter tire for the Cybertruck. Yes, I'm a tire snob, and I don't mind admitting it. Always have been, ever since I figured out how much difference tires make to how far you can push a vehicle.
