Tires... Need ur experience..

[justvettn]

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"...

I have MTR Kevlars on my jeep and they do not stop in the rain, kinda scary actually.

Anyone have methods standard with 20" ?

We can get you some.

so you want someone to measure their tires?

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

Just call up the manufacturer they will give you the real specks.

Yeah, I found out the other tires I'm interested real height on some random jeep forums, but only could find 33" duratrac measurements & no 35" ones. Seems like they run small like the stockers.

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

I'm trying to understand what your point is here?

I'm not sure on the deeper lugs other then the side lugs. The Duratracs have some pretty deep lugs.

With method wheels and Duratracs you'll be at 85lbs per corner. Only 2.5 lbs more then the Toyo's without wheels.

Just go the manufacturers site. They have a spec tab which lists the actual real world measurements. There could be a difference once mounted under the load of a truck but i'm sure it would be the same difference for both tires.

I'm not sure how to make it simple for you but I will try. The Toyo is a bigger tire then the Duratrac, it has more material in its construction so it is going to be heavier. Yes it has much deeper lugs more ply's taller and wider, more material thus heavier, not a bad thing unless your planning on racing Corvettes.

I know why it's heavier. Your original statement only stated the obvious.

And yes heavier is bad in many ways. More strain on suspension components and more rotating mass. I believe the calculation is 10x for every 10lbs of rotating mass. By running toyo's your carrying 90 extra lbs of rotating mass or the equivalent of throwing 900lbs in the bed of your truck. Seems awfully high but that's the calculation I've seen thrown around on this and many other forums.

Plus the OP has stated that he will spend 95% of his time on the road. So all the extra side wall protection (assuming you're correct that the toyo's are superior in that area) doesn't really benefit the OP.
