And just to clarify; you haven't installed a lift of any kind, correct?
What do you think about these Wrangler Duratrac Tires???

Well it looks fantastic.
I'd love to see some off-road videos, or even pictures of your most recent trip.

I'm sure, I was going side by side with someone with the BFG mudterrains and I could hear his tires through the closed glass with the stereo on. What size are those? Look great!!

Ok, after about 300 miles, I have an issue with these tires. It may not be the actual tires, could be something else related to the fitting, but I wanted to throw it out there anyway.
At any speed above 50 mph and I get lots of vibration. It's a very high frequency vibration through the steering wheel, almost identical to what a lawn mower feels like. After 20 mins on the highway, my hands are tingling. It's not a 'car shaking' thing, just a really fast vibration.
I had a wheel alignment done in July on my old tires, so I don't think that could be causing it.
Anyone else with these tires notice this kind of vibration?

I get a small humming noise, but no kind of vibration or anything like that. They are smooth even at 75-80 so maybe you have something else going on.

slight road noise but no vibrations. go talk to the place where you got the tires. see what they can do for you.

So far so good and after getting some real snow time on my Duratracs I'm quite impressed and even in 2wd they didn't slide around and I have no balancing issues or vibration problems even at 85mph. They are a bit better than my Nittos in the snow but the TGs had a little better dry grip but the GYs still are grippier than I thought they'd be. I am so far very happy with these tires now I just hope they wear well.

so how do these handle in the rain now?
i here good things above the snow (above) but come on man i live in washington! i need to know about rain! lol
also the m/t's suck in the rain? i was comparing these to the m/t kevlar mentioned in page 2 or 3.......
i'd rather get a at than a mt if driving in the rain is a massive issue, if it's negligible then i'd perfer the mt

I haven't had any problems with my Duratracs in the rain.

I would say they are good in the rain, but not great. They are definitely better than my old mud terrains.
I'm not an aggressive driver but in the rain I find it very easy to brake traction at take off from the lights, particularly when going up hill and not even using full throttle. I feel that they drift a little too in corners. Under brakes they are very good.
After a few months, I certainly like these tires, but the thing I like the most is their tough looks.

can you please tell us where you got that price? Is that 17". If yes, that is an awesome price. My local Discount (where I have had great service in past), has 265/70-17 for $212 each, $20 rebate from Goodyear on set of four ends tomorrow, plus install and taxes of course.
They don't list 265/75's. I don't have lift and don't want rub, so based on many threads on here I was leaning to 70s - correct me if I'm wrong - do 75s need lift or trimming?

oh 16s, now I understand. Still wondering where you got that awesome price. I just plugged your size into Discount, and it gives same price as for my size, which is a lot more than what you paid. Please let us in on that info
Been snowing up north this week - ski time is coming - gotta bite the bullet and get GOOD tires soonoh 16s, now I understand. Still wondering where you got that awesome price.

This price was from my local goodyear shop. Everyone else said they could not beat that price because it was direct from goodyear.
