Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

[BBLR3]

I used to have Duratrac's in the stock 19" size when I used to live in Virginia. We got nailed with some 2' snow and I went driving around. They handled it great with the Rover. They definitely started getting loud as the tread wore down. Supposedly the Duratrac RT's are a little quieter. So far they are from what I remember but time will tell though. I dont do much offroad driving, but plan to be up in Upper Michigan some this winter so I wanted a tire that I know handles snow well.

I have 265/60R18 duratracs with probably 4 years on them on my LR4 here in Halifax. This is my winter driven car without winter tires and these surprised me with how good they were in the snow. I used to have an Outback with all seasons, and the duratracs in the snow were much more like snow tires.

PO of my LR4 neglected the suspension somewhat, so when I bought it, it needed new rear balljoints and a control arm. I think that caused the rear tires to scallop pretty badly. Now that it's fixed, it doesn't seem to be getting any worse, but they are a touch on the loud side, likely because of the wear.
