The 32's were a little on the big side and were causing me some issues, so a smaller set was called for.

Enter 245/75 Goodyear Duratracs :twisted:

Made in USA

The Duratracs have a nice hum on the road at speed and look good imo. A nice cross between an AT and MT.

According to the Goodyear site they're ranked similarly to the mtr's( new and old version ) so the tires should be able to perform well offroad

Like the looks of those , I keep going and looking at them thinking they would be a good mix for what I need as well.
have a set of Treadwrights out here in the garage, but........may have to try them :shock:

How loud of a hum is it? Annoying? Can you still talk to someone in the back seat without YELLING?? :roll:

Only had them to about 50mph and there was a nice hum with the windows open - could have been louder imo but it was much quieter than the Destination MT's were.

You'd definitely be able to carry on a conversation with passengers

You'll love them. They get quieter after a couple hundred miles. Awesome in the mud!!!!

Dude you really need to ditch those spacers.

That would have eliminated 99% of your issues with the bigger tires ITBJHO

Might have eliminated issues, but the 32's still would have to have'd gone ( long story :P )

With the knobby tires from a previous life I was rubbing on the sway bar at full turn - spacers fixed that. Mount directly to the hub and act as a shim. Go on real easy.

You shouldn't need spacers either. 245/75-16s on stock KJ wheels shouldn't even need the pinchwelds touched.

Mine are rubbing like a !@#@! on my sway bar. Plus I'd like the agressive look of the tires hangin out. Kinda like toms with wider wheel but mine would have real tires.
