:biggrin2:

They look so much better on the truck than what I was expecting. 265/75's always look good though! What are your initial impressions?

 

[RonMAIDEN]

How about a pic showing the whole truck?

 

[SilverBullet01]

first impression... wow. im a college student, so pulling the trigger to spend that much on tires took me a bit. so much that my previous tires were almost road slicks. there is a little bit of road noise at freeway speeds, but its a low humming whistle noise, and easily avoided by music, or my stereo system

Ron, i just got some more custom sticker work done yesterday, and im looking for one more sticker specifically. plus im made the mistake of not fully looking behind me when backing out of the garage, and backed into my parents truck, so theres a slight dent. but it will be gone soon

hoping more pictures on suday

To me they definitely look more aggressive than BFG KO's.

I'd really like to take the wheels off that FJ put them on a set of Duratracs and then onto my 4runner.


Hopefully I'll be getting a set of soon, but who knows since I gotta buy a new laptop and dorm supplies.

How the ride with load range E?

 

[SilverBullet01]

well i stuck with the C load range so it didnt mess up my ride to much. it is my daily driver, and i have no intentions of heading up to the rubricon.

 

[Sloan]

so it rides pretty good? and how about scrubbing? seen any problems with it?

 

[SilverBullet01]

not a single bit of rub, even in full turn, but thats on the road, havent had any experience off road yet. id still like my 2 inch lift first

 

[(4)runnin'it]

those are sick! have you put them to use yet?

 

[benormous]

I'm really thinking about these tires. They look better and better. How much did the set cost?

 

[SilverBullet01]

driven over a few curbs, and planter boxes... but i get off work tomorrow at 2pm, so pictures will be taken of them getting put to use

and i got them at americas tire company, or discount tire or whatever. good year is doing a $20 rebate on them, and they were doing an in store $20 rebate as well. so it came out to $817 overall

I just got back from a Southern California Road trip on my new DuraTracs and the ride quality is excellent both on road and off road. I have no regrets going with the Good Year's at all.

 

[az4runner02]

One more pic and a few more notes. You all asked about rubbing, no rubbing what so ever in my case. Mine were $797 out the door in Phoenix AZ area.

 

[Sloan]

what year is yours az?

 

[az4runner02]

Its a 2000 SR5 4x4. I bought it about 11 months ago with 52,000 miles. Its got 74,000 miles on it now. I need to find a closer job, currently driving 40 miles each way.

 

[RonMAIDEN]

Nice,now it's between another set of proven Nittos for me or the Duratracs since I do like the agressive tread.

 

[Dbiz]

Damn Taylor those look sick.

PS Im back in town

 

[SilverBullet01]

Ron, im tellin you, i love em so far. and from what i have seen they are cheaper than the nittos, but you can get them in a 8 ply if you still want it. like i said i stuck with the six


and Darby, hit me up, we need to take some group pictures, maybe hit up a trail or two

 

[Dbiz]

Haha ya definitely man. And hitting up a trail or two would be sick! Gotta find some good ones. We'll make it happen though. Talk to you real quick.

 

[RonMAIDEN]

The C load range Duratracs are only $6/each more than the Nittos in D range so the price is no big deal so maybe the GYs will make it onto my truck by fall.
