They were original on my TT, their construction never caused me any issues but they cracked to pieces in 2 years. The amount of sidewall cracking was amazing, I replaced them with Maxxis which have performed well so far.

I had Duros on my PUP. Replaced them after 5 years (to be safe) and bought another set. Never had any problems with them.

Came standard on my trailer. One has now cracked like crazy (2 years old), so I plan on replacing it with the spare, and keeping it as the spare for now. Other than that, have not had any problems, but on have 3k miles on them.

I am on the second season with our Duro tires. We have over 8000 kilometers on them and have never had an issue. Lots of 65mph highway driving for extended periods.

Duro's came on my MaxLite. They are a little over 2 years old and no major problems. I've had 2 nails in one of them but that's not the tires failt. They are wearing more on the outer edges but no cracks yet. I have about 8K miles on them.....I will replace with a different tire (D range)when the time comes in a few months....

Duro's came on our TT from the factory. Been all over the last 2 years with no problems. Today the tread still looks like new. I've been very impressed with them so far.

I do keep a close eye on the pressure and check them everytime we stop. Heck, my Duro's don't even lose pressure sitting in the driveway! I've rarely had to top them off.

They came on my new Keystone Sprinter. Two developed bad cracks within 6 months and Duro immediately sent two more to replace the first two.

You get what you pay for, manufactures are cutting costs and Duro are a low end tire. Watch them, check the air, and replace when they hit that 4 to 5 year mark or high mileage.

Thanks for all the feedback on these tires. Guess it's like all the other threads on tires here. Some people have good luck and like them others don't. Personal experience says you can get a lemon in any brand or a real peach. For the price I just might buy a set of these and replace them in 3-4 years regardless of mileage.
