I'm in! this pic request thread seems to have turned into a "show your duratracs" thread. lol. just had these installed a few days ago. love them so far. very quiet for how aggressive they are. hard to believe they're classified as an A/T. 275/70/18 with 1.5" wheels spacers. no rub. awesome.

I've only had them on for about 2 weeks now, but so far I love them. They are really very quiet (even more so than my SRA's), handle pretty nicely, and look mean as hell. I've got them in a 315/75/16, and they measure about 34" exactly when mounted, and have a tread width of 10" and total tire width of a little under 12.5" when inflated to 35psi. Haven't trail-tested them yet. Also not too incredibly harsh for a Load E tire.

I've got a couple questions for the 315/70/17 Duratrac owners. What is the actual height of them once mounted? How do they handle at highway speeds? Do the drive smoothly on road?
Thanks
Thanks

Mine measure right at 34" @ 30psi, and I think they are very smooth. A smoother ride than the stock SR-A's, which surprised me for a load range E tire. And they are exceptionally quiet on the highway. Handling is good on dry pavement, probably what you'd expect from an all terrain, but then I don't drive this like my Mazdaspeed 3, either. Haven't put a lot of off-road miles on them yet, but that should change this weekend.

So I have had my duratracs since May... and I am very disappointed. Last weekend I was on a major wheelin trip with tons of ppl... and I blew two sidewalls. One took 6 plugs to fill, the other took 1 plug. apparently the duratracs are know for weak sidewalls. No one knows what I hit, no one else hit it, or their tires are waaaay better. oh well I wanted 35s anyways. going to go mickey t MTZ this time though. Just thought I would let everyone know!
