Did your Duratrac's feel spongy at first?

Just had the Duratrac's put on yesterday. They feel kinda floaty? I know it is a jump from the rugged trails 265/70/16 to the duratrac's 265/75/16. The tire looks great haven't had time to try them out yet. Tire pressure is at 34f 30r. Any input would be much appreciated.

bumping every 4 minutes isn't neccesary

 

they are a softer tire so yes they feel a little more "spongey" but you get used to it.

 

Discount tire said to put them at 35psi all around ?

 

i think thats where mine are at. if im going on long drives on the interstate i put them up a little higher.

 

How many miles do you have on them how are they wearing?

 

what are you talking about.

close to 8k and wearing fine. you're alignment and what not will all be factors in how they wear. im also in hot ass arizona so the streets are a lot hotter but the tires seem to be doing and holding up fine. still look like new.

 

This A/T is the most aggressive tire I have ran. BFG A/T, Revo.

 

Here in Reno it will get up to 100-105 not as hot as you and down to -10 to 20's, plus snow.

 

The sticker on the inside of the door jam has the pressure for the stock tires that came on the truck.

I go by whats stated on the tire or by doing the chalk test.

I thought you were talking about me increasing the pressure of the tires when going on long drives.

 

I have heard this before about these tires...

Just ordered mine today. Putting them on 16x8 Ultra Mavericks. Get installed next sat. Can't wait.

 

What size are you going with?

 

Going with 265/75/16.

 

Let me know what you think of them after you get them put on.

 

Will do.

 

Any one else with some feedback?
