Duratrac tires

[Raptor911]

Looks pretty tough to me:

I would love to get them but the sidewalls could use some work. Idk but it doesn’t really look mean or tough imho. Kind of looks fake/cheesy tough it’s hard to explain.

Based on looking at the tread alone, i'm gonna go with the guys that say Duratracks are louder than KO2's. They certainly look like they make more noise to me.

raptor owners, lol

I realize why it is heavier, I meant I wasn't sure why I lost a half mpg.

Stupid people, lol

One of our shop techs is a Duratrac die hard. He just put a set on a jeep he bought. He told me back when he bought them that they do get louder as they wear. He said they tend to wear uneven.

I just have a hang up about Goodyear tires for one. Haven't had good experiences with them for many years and a lot of our customers that have Goodyears on their vehicles tend to not be real happy with them.

Plus the Duratracs look like an old school snow tire for back in the 70's an 80's.

On a side note has anyone done lettering on their sidewalls?

yeah, cause 3 lbs per tire is a huge difference.

Maybe I should re-word, I didn't expect to see much of a change in mileage

Pretty much ANY tire this big is gonna wear somewhat uneven and get louder

its just the nature of 35"+ tires

You'll probably have to get mud terrians to get a tougher look.

True, the ridge grapplers looks badass and aren’t as crazy as a mud but I think those things are super heavy for 35s. I gotta see if there are any aftermarket C/D rated tired that aren’t the kO2s or duractracs

I've been pretty fortunate with my K02's. I'm just about at 31k miles and my tires are in pretty good shape yet.

I had duratrax on my jk, they were just as quiet as the bfg I have now. But holy crap the got a lot louder at 15 K than the bfg mud terrains I replaced them with. I love the look of them vs bfg but I wont be putting them on this truck.

Plus you lose some speed rating with the duratrac tire
99 vs 112
And yes I have been well over 112
