I've got 22,000 miles and many wheeling trips on mine and still have 1/2" of tread left. I think they started out about 11/16ths. They are still quiet and I rotate them every 6000mi.

I have about 15000 miles on mine. No issues whatsoever. The tires are a great fit for a daily driving Jeep while still being a good off-road tire. I've been through some fairly deep mud and they trunk through without a problem.

Just saw an article in in Four wheel and sport on the duratrac. I wish these tires came in 37"+ sizes, I'm just sick of seeing eight threads a week on these tires and how great they are Unfortunately I am not willing to go back to 35"s with my current set up and wheeling tendencies. Bottom line, I'm just jealous.
Anyone know if GY plans to make them in a 37"?

I agree, I have the 315 size (actually less than 34") and love these tires, but when they wear out I'd love to go to 37" tires, I hope they offer that size in the future like the MTR w/ Kevlar. They have worked great in rain, mud and can't wait to try them in snow.

Just an update, got to try them on some snow covered roads, drive in 2wd like I was in 4wd at highway speeds. Passed some vehicles and a salt truck at around 50-60 mph through slush/snow without any swaying/hydroplaning or anything, love these tires I really hope they decide to make them in a 37.
At the very least I will be buying these for my truck one day. Way better than the BFG all-terrains I used to always buy imo.

I will probably end up going with these but wish they came in a true 35 or even a 36/37.
Can anyone tell me what the actual height of the 315/70/r17 is? Is it just under 34"?
Do you think they will ever make these in a bigger size?

They have to see that the demand is there for their tires. I'm hoping by the time I need to replace the ones I have they will have a larger size. The 315/70's aren't too bad though. They look good and do great on and off road.
