Just got back from Dallas, TX last night. Been there about a week and the rental we had was a Tahoe with some Durun F-One tires on it.
These are possibly the worst tires I've ever ridden on in my entire life.
Their wet performance was what I would call scary. Stopping briskly resulted in sliding and the ABS engaging. Acceleration lit them up. They were even awful on dry pavement where if there was any imperfection in the road surface (a pretty prevalent trait with the roads in Dallas) they broke traction and could engage the ABS. They were also noisy. REALLY noisy. They hummed like we were riding on mudders.
Note that this was NOT a 6.0L Tahoe. It had whatever the smallest base engine was.
Another interesting thing was that they tires were "chunking". Parts of the tread surface had come off, and other parts were showing splits.
Our 2nd night there, somebody tried to steal the wheels/tires off the truck but was foiled by one of the Hotel's security guards. The tires became a running joke after that as we figured they'd put the wheels back once the realized how awful the tires were, LOL!
Our other rental was a 2014 Expedition with the stock Goodyear rubber. They were literally 100x better than the Durun's in the same conditions.
And the pics:
The worn-out LTX's we pulled off the Expedition last year would have performed better in ANYTHING than these tires and they had the added benefit of not sounding like you were driving on tires from a John Deere loader
