They FINALLY came in! I found out the reason it took 5 weeks to get them is a company bought out the stock for their fleet. Don't matter now cause I got mine....

Well I can tell you that with the stock Rubi tires I was always in 4x4 as the roads here get slick! And I was always sliding a little especially on corners.
After having them installed last night I drove around town and played a little bit and never had to leave 2wd... now be warned, I try and drive sensibly according to the conditions. These tires did not give me the ability to drive like an idiot at crazy speeds. I typically drive about 60-70km/hr on our roads.
The ride noise is surprisingly low since Goodyear rated them at a 5 and the ride quality is nice. They give you a semi-soft feel...hard to explain but they feel like good quality truck tires. The treads look badass up close and personal. I think I mentioned this but I went with the equivalent to 33"s with a 2.5 TF coil lift. Pics tend to make the tires look smaller in the wheel well but when your looking at them in person they do not look small at all! The tires look proportionate to the vehicle height and size. I love them!!!
I wish I could say more but I just got them so i will add more in days to come.

Northern Wrangler your jeep looks awesome. Look forward to seeing you around town. Same opinion on the Duratracs - barely need 4x4 even on the ice.

No spacers. I mounted them on 17" Pro comp series 98 steel wheels.
Thanks PG-JKU! Hope to wheel with you some time. Stickerboy from Quesnel is coming to PG Sunday for a meeting or something and we planned to meet up after I get off work at 7 for a coffee. If your free drop me a PM.
I posted some shots of me playing in the Home Depot parking lot tonight in teh Western Canada section. Heres one of the pics.
FYI: These things rock in the snow!
