Oh, you know I am a pic whore! There will be pics! HAHA

They had some Duratracs there but they were sold. I told the person they were sold too I would give them $50 to wait until monday when they can get more in, they denied me LOL. I go back in two or three hours when the Hankooks arrive from another location, if I hate them I just gotta pay $13 for the courier. I do not see any reason why I would not like them, but if I don't I guess I need to cool my jets and wait until the Duratracs come in. I hate paying for install and TPMS rebuilds once every three months, although I have technically gotten an extra 10-15k between all my tire swaps :beer:

from what i have read online i think you'll be happier with the RT03s than Duratracs

i actually like the rock tek bumper over the shrockworks myself.

sits closer to the body with a better approach angle IMO.

Ya, sucks that they went out of business. That is a badass bumper.

Tires

You should not have to pay an installation chrage on new tires. Every new set I have purchased over the years, balancing and installation is included with the price of the tire, as long as you are buying a set of four.

They have let me trade twice so im not going to complain.

285/70 load D Duratracs will arrive tomorrow

I am excited. I asked if I could trade the Hankooks if I did not like them and then realized that if I am asking that, I do not like them enough. I feel I made the right decision. Also have some oversized BFG Mud Terrains coming for my camper :whip2:

short commute... increased off road usage.. looks (??) sounds to me like you are switching to DuraTracs

My commute is longer and less play time on the weekends.. for that reason I'm considering the Cooper Discover ATP (Cooper Discoverer ATP) Looks to be a happy blend between road and offroad and comes with a 55K warranty.

Just my 2 cents.

I love the look of these tires, they look very close to the Zeon LTZ's. I look forward to 4R reviews with this tire.
