Sure is. Not many people know about Rio Rico. Are you from around here?

I just sold 4 tires. I didn't change out the spare. On another note, I now have 2500 miles on the Duratracs and love them. They've performed flawlessly off-road and their on-road performance is great too. I would definitely buy them if you're considering them.

It was. I got a call yesterday morning and had them sold by noon. I got $325 out of them and didn't have to make a special trip to get them to him. That's way better than the $200 Discount Tire offered me. Not bad at all. You can tell that you're not riding on all-season touring tires, but...

A lot of people are getting their new tires from Discount Tire and trading in the stock ones for a credit (usually $75 per tire). At the Discount Tire I went to, however, they would only give me $50 per tire so I just kept them. Brand new, the stock tires cost over $700 for the set of four and I...

They do make a big, big difference. The truck looks so much better with more aggressive tires. Of course, it should perform better as well.

Glad to hear that you still like yours after putting some miles on them. Based on the reviews, it seems like this tire is great for SUVs, but not so good for the heavy pick-up trucks. There are a lot of complaints about squishiness--even on the E-loads--but those are from people with 3/4-ton...

:iagree:

Thanks for all of the compliments!!!

Thanks. No, I didn't upsize, but the aggressive tread gives the appearance that they're larger.

That's a possibility. Maybe even a bug deflector?

I tried going for a 2011, but they have no idea when a Salsa Red Trail with KDSS is going to get made and shipped to this region's port. It was probably going to take at least another month or two. The dealer was already giving me great trade values on both cars I traded in and this 2010 was...

Yeah, it would look great with black wheels, but I'd scratch the powder coat up the first time I went off road out here. There are rocks everywhere!!! Heck, I picked up two little rock scratches in a wheel just driving home last night-- and that was on a paved road! I guess that's why I'm not...

Just picked her up yesterday and immediately got some new shoes. I went with the Goodyear Duratrac LT265/70R17 E-load and love the way they look. They ride just fine and they are quite quiet for such an aggressive tire. I'm looking forward to testing them out here in Arizona. BTW, I'm running...

Finally Got My Trail Edition!!! After more than a month of messing around, I finally took delivery of my new 2010 Salsa Red Trail Edition yesterday! Of course, it went straight to the tire shop for new shoes. I'm already loving it and looking forward to some Arizona off-road adventures. I'll...
