Ordering up a set of 265/65R17 Duratracs tomorrow. Theyjust came out with that size within the last couple of months which I'm really happy about. Was going to have to go with the Grabbers instead and I didn't like the looks and reviews of them nearly as much as the Duratracs. Cannot wait to get new tires on this thing, these Falkens have 70k miles on them and can barely hang in the rain anymore. I'll post some pics next week when they get installed |

I'll post some pics next week when they get installed hard to beat Duratracs I think. Little over 80,000 miles on mine and the only reason I am looking for others is the fact they are at the point for winter not enough tread. ( about 7 / 32s left now) Just keep them rotated on a regular basis ( did mine every 3-4000 miles) |

A little teaser. Got them put on today but it was too dark to take pics. They crossthreaded one of my studs too... b@stards. So they're paying for me to go get it fixed. Still BS tho So far they look and handle great, I'll get some pics of them installed soon

Keep them rotated and your alignment in, and you'll see a nice life out of them. I'm at 15k miles, the insides look great, but the outsides took a toll from the positive camber I had when I first put the lift in. I had the alignment fixed in 5 days or so after it settled, but still was enough to start problems. You'll know when it's time to rotate. They'll start to hum differently/slightly louder. |

Completely agree. Although I'm not running Duratracs (Got the wrangler territory's) I found that you can especially feel the vibration on the highway. My wheel would literally bounce around and as soon as I rotated, it went away completely. Can't wait to see them on those wheels! |

Thanks guys, so far I love them. Might have to do a little work on the fender liners that my old tires tore through when I was stock. The plastic is flared out and the new tires rub on them at full lock in reverse. Snip snip |
