Pictures request - Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac
#211
Before and after
1.5 spidertrax and 2.5 teraflex bb on the way in the mail. Tons'o rubbing at full turn with no spacers. On the highway there is a slight loss of power, and the ride at 32 psi is the same as the stock dueler ride. I love these things! Way more aggressive in person than in the photos.

you guys think these tires in a 315/70/17 will fit with a taraflex leveling kit? what are the tires actually measuring.. 315/70/17 comes out to exactly 34.3 which would be fine i think

After perving out on this thread for too long, I decided to ditch my almost new stock 255/70/18 duelers for 275/70/18 duratracs on a jk sahara unlimited. They are being installed as we speak. 2.5 teraflex bb and 1.5 spidertrax spacers are in the mail. I will post when I get it all done up. . . i'm pumped!
I love these tires, I have had E's before and you would never know these are E's.
Does well in all conditions, very quiet, and looks great... what more could we ask for?

ok guys, been looking at the Duratracs. Get the quiet ride and great traction, but many of the reviews from different areas complain of the weak sidewall and how bad they drive at highway speed and cornering. You guys that have them - what you think? Narrowed my choices down to Coopers, Nitto Trail Grapplers, or Duratracs. Like that the Duratracs are light and so many reviews rate them high in snow, but leary of this very common "feels like driving a boat down the highway" type description.

Yeah i kinda took into account many were big truck guys and even the possibility of some air pressure issues, but many negatives have come from Jeeps too. Really like the tire, just hoping more can chime in. As light as these are I would consider 35s...

FWIW: I have had E rated BFG AT's before.
The GYD's are night and day from those.
I notice no difference in stiffness from the Duelers to the DuraTracs.
As far as highway goes. The same. Only time I get tossed around on the highway is sans top/doors, and that is not from the tires.
I am VERY happy with these tires.
As much as I don't want to rush summer... I can not wait to take these in the snow

I'm headed out to Eastern Oregon this coming weekend, so I should be able to report back on how they do on different terrain.
I say go for it!

My 315/70/R17 Duratracs at 35 psi installed sit at about 33.75" if I remember correctly.
