JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Got my 33" Duratracs finally

My tires finally arrived and I had them installed today, just in time for this big blast of snow that we're in the middle of getting. Five tires were ordered but only four were received at the shop. It's going to be another 2 weeks for the last one to show up.

Here are some poor quality phone pics but I'll get some better ones up when the snow stops falling. It's really amazing how a beefier set of tires changes the entire look of the Jeep

I've been having a hard time deciding between the 33" and 35" Duratracs on a TF 2.5" lift. I really like how your jeep looks with the 33's though.

What size are they? 285... 275.... 265...?

Very, very nice I was on the fence with the look of the Duratracs. They look superb on your rig.

I went with the 275/70/18. I'm one of the few that like the look of the stock rims and wanted to keep them.

I can't really comment on anything other than the appearance and snow traction. They look mean and aggressive and they plow right through the deep snow. I tried them out on some spots that looked icy and they seemed to grip well but it's too early to tell.
There's just too much snow on the ground so I can't tell if there's a difference in road noise and all this powder makes the ride nice and smooth.

I was on the fence as well. Some Jeeps that I saw made me say oh ya I need these tires while on others they just looked boring. You can't go by what you see on the web. Call a whole bunch of tire shops in your area and find one that has the Duratracs in stock. Take one look at them and you'll be sold.

I used to hate getting plowed in like this but now I laugh. I felt like going out and knocking on the guys window and asking him if that's the best he can do
