The TRR is actually very easy on tires compared to an actual off road situation where there are things that are very bad for tires and there is no support. The Duratrac is a good tire for light use where sidewall toughness is not a big concern. Lightweight tires come at a performance penalty—sad but true. In fact in all of the years, vehicles and tires on my trucks and Jeep none have failed because of a tread problem. Have always been sidewall failures. Granted most folks don’t have to worry about that given the environment they drive in. Sometimes grass is covering up a washout that was not there the last time I drove across and the front end falls to the frame and 4wd low is required to back out. In that specific instance in various places have had limestone cut sidewalls several tires (including the BFG KM’s) to actual failure. Just know what type of driving that you do and make a smart and informed procurement that is based on performance in the required environment not just looks.</blockquote>
