No offense taken. Tires are like oil everyone has a favorite.
I'm at 5,500 feet so winter is not a "shoulder season" this winter we had 76", last winter was 105" a few before that was 180". Not trying to compare snow totals with the NE just saying I'm on snow covered mountain roads on a regular basis.
I stand by my experience and say they have been excellent in the snow for me.

No offense but NC snow and Canadian snow is different. I have owned two set of Duratracs and find them unacceptable for full on winter use in new england. They are great AT tires, and ok for shoulder season (and perhaps incidental mid atlantic snow), but just an average all season tire capability when rain goes through phase change. After the second snow fall this past November even my wife was "can we swap out the Duratrac to snows this weekend, they are down right scary in the snow"
The Firestone MT I run on my '76 88 perform noticeably better in the snow than Duratracs, and come in 235/85/16, which is near perfect for series trucks, albeit they are made in Canada not US
The other very good performing snow and mud tires are the Super Swamper SSRs, even better than the Firestone MTs. I had an opportunity to try them this winter in the snow and was very impressed. They are going on my UZJ100 next, and they are made in US.
