Unless they've changed the tread pattern or rubber compound, they'll be the loudest AT tire. At least they were for me. These are all my experiences. Can't really speak about the newest tires as it's been 6-8 years since I've had duratracks. They came on a truck I bought and only had 7000 miles on them. They were the loudest AT tires I've ever had. They had really good tread life left and no cupping or uneven wear. It just was an annoying tire to ride on.Thanks for the heads up. I am probably buying a new ride which happens to have the Duratracs from the factory, and I got to find this out on a test drive last week.
