With that said, I am not saying anything against the report from Jenna, obviously this person had a bad experience with two tires. Jenna mentions that "apparently the duratracs are know for weak sidewalls," I have not seen this, but it has been a month or two since I have read much on them. Jenna, I would be interested in reading some of these reviews. Before I spend $200+ per tire, I want to make dang sure I know what I'm getting.

It has taken me forever... but I have decided on ProComp 7089 (17" with 4.5") and Duratrac tires... I have an '08 JK Unlimited... the final question I have is what is the biggest tire size I can cram in with no lift and get no rubbing......... anyone? THANK YOU!

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!
...but cons is the weight and price!
Cooper STT has done well for me as well no chunking, no sidewall failure or flat and wearing very well!MTZ's I had on my Truck and chunked really bad on rocks and had one sidewall puncture.

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 saw that. I was pumped to see they finally came out with that size. If i don't get 315/75 R16's I'll be running the 305's for sure.
