Anyone running Goodyear Duratrac 295/70/17 tires?

[JettyHopper]

After researching on different brands and specs to get larger tires (going from 285/70/17 to 295) I noticed Duratrac weighs lot lighter than most tires? If someone could confirm. Also overall experience with this particular duratrac size.

Tiresize.com shows Duratrac 295/70/17 weighs in at 60lbs? while my BF Goodrich 285/70/17 at 57lbs.

I've never personally ran duratracs but I've seen a lot of people complain about the sidewalls and how they're prone to punctures. However, they are a nice hybrid-ish tire that is 3 peak snow rated. They will cup pretty badly because of they're more aggressive than a typical AT tire. One of my favorite tires that are usually lighter than most is the Cooper AT3 XLT.

I've been running that size for the last 2 years. Very happy with them. I also ran the 315 size on my old 2002 4Runner for several years, with no issues.

Get the tire warranty! Everyone I've know that has put these on their rig regularly rip out sidewalls!

What mods you had to do to fit those? I am considering BMC and high clearance front bumper. will that suffice?

Currently I have OME BP-51 plus winch and bumper. It has small rake due to adding the bumper.

Been running duratracs for 12 years (2nd set)and never ripped out any sidewall, never even had a flat yet! Greats tires!

You will probably still need to pound/cut/trim behind the front tires.
