Tires... Need ur experience..

[WHYUMAD]

I'm between the Duratracs & MT Baja Claws right now. Both are lighter than stock, but the MT is a true 35" tire while I'm unsure if the Duratracs are even taller than stock....I'd like a more aggressive tire & also a bigger tire as well. The Toyos are awesome, but way too heavy IMO. I'm looking for light-weight, tall, & streetable (meaning not too noisy & good treadwear with decent handling). Any opinions?

The Raptor needs an aggressive looking tire IMO that's why I would go with an MT and not an all terrain. The TOYO is very aggressive looking without the loud road noise of some mud tires, also the reviews are very good on them. Baja Claw would be my second choice. As far as rims do a lot of research and buy what you like.

Tirerack list the duratracs as 34.4 in diameter. That's the same as the stock BFG All Terrain.

how much taller are the duratracs versus the stock tire height?

the last week or two we have had some pretty heavy rain here and ive had to drive in it haha and the toyos MT's handle pretty damn well in the rain. the on road is obviously louder than stock and a little rougher but that depends on what your psi is at i leave mine at about 38 for a comfy ride! and like stated above the duratracs are great too

Toyos should meet your needs. The toyo's are slightly taller but they are the widest Mt you can get. They say 12.5"s wide but according to the spec sheet they are 13.2"s compared to the duratrac at 12.7"s. However, they are the heaviest Mt on the market. 82lbs A tire compared to the duratracs at 60lbs. That's a pretty big difference. Toyo's are a great looking tire though.

I got 4 duratracs from tirerack for $1200 shipped. You'll probably spend 200-300 more on the toyo's.

With the Toyo being taller, wider, deeper lugs and more ply of course it is going to weigh more, its more tire.

Anyone have methods standard with 20" ?

I was asking real world measurements because alot of the time its more or less.

I have 35x12.50x17 red letter general grabbers and absolutely love them! I think the acoustic sound modulation technology works great to quiet it down alot! Its a fairly quiet tire. Only measured one decibel over the stock ride noise level at 70.

Duratracs if you see snow/ice

MTR Kevlars for everything else (esp if you are going to see mud/rocks/trail time).

Toyo's are "ok"...
