Wrangler Duratrac info....

Yeah, earlier on saturday I called a few shops, it was $1051 and $1072 for my 245's. Crazy what tires cost now. Kinda makes you wonder, when someone can sell then for $636 and turn a profit, but it costs $400 to mount balance and align.

 

Love my duratracs, hey OldManTan nice looking boxer you got there.

 

i thought the duratracs had grip everywhere on almost any type of terrain but seemed to wander a bit on the freeway and around town. i would attribute this to all of the siping that the tire has.

i ran the tire with the factory suspension and perfect alignment and mine where 265-70-17 c load range and 32 psi of pressure.

on a side note i have a set of 295 e load range nitto trail grapplers and while i love these tires they are absolutely on the stiff side e load range tires will= a much stiffer riding tire no questions asked. they and correct me if i'm wrong are deigned for vehicles of much heavier weight.

 

You are correct in that E rated tires are designed for heavier weight, but incorrect that an E will equal a much stiffer ride with no questions asked.

My E Duratrac's ride as soft as every C I have ever run. In fact, if you read reviews on Duratrac's on any tire site, you'll find that people frequently complain of E rated Duratrac's riding TOO soft.

 

i just got the same delivered $824- w/SS valve stems, cant wait to get them installed

 

Nice .. I can't wait to get them on as well ... Then hit some snow with em

 

Sadly snow is on its way, and the tires sit in my garage for mounting on saturday

 

Awesome thread I just got a quote for $840 from a local goodyear shop, total to my door will now be $705.50 from treadepot!

HELL YES!

 

You Welcome!!

 

Thank you sir, he is overall a great dog!! A little protective, on the bad side. Don't u just love your floppy eared white Boxer!!!

 

Hmmm. I got my 265/75/16 Duratracs for $650+ tax last year during Black Friday from a price match at Discount.

 

Yep I got my duratracs earlier this year before tire prices shot out of the roof, I got my Duratracs in 285/75/16 for $18x a tire

 

look at what showed up yesterday

 

Nice! Can't wait to get mine on!

 

I would have payed that!! but mine were over $1050 local, and I have smaller tires. If all goes well I should have $676 into it after the goodyear rebate. I am VERY happy with that. And here they are!!!

 

That's the reason why you're running way too low a tire pressure. My Duratracs are all on 38 psi and there is ZERO highway wandering.

 

I'd have to agree with you here When I first got mine they looked almost flat at stock pressure so I bumped them up to 42 psi for highway mileage (wander city). Put them back to stock pressure and they handle alot better.

 

I have them at 38 in the rear and 40 up front. If it dries up enuf today I may go try the chalk test. My main concerns are mileage and wear. I don't drive the thruway much so not that worried.
