    I was really back and forth between the Dynapros and Duratrac's. The 75-80 mile freeway trip today did me in. I hope I don't get disappointed with the traction in the Dynapros.

    white lettering In or Out? I am considering those wheels at this moment, can't wait to see yours. Hopefully I will have a purchase made by the end of the weekend.

    Nice wheel choice. I think that will look great on your truck. :thumbsup:

    Actually Duratracs meet the snow requirements in testing (hence the snowflake symbol on the sidewalls) and surprisingly do really wheel in the snow. :cool:

    To get the snowflake symbol, the tire has to get only 10% more traction than a "reference" all-season tire on packed snow in ASTM testing.

    Get a real snow tire for the winter if you drive a lot on snow and ice. They have a softer tire compound for the colder temps.

    I drive in a fair bit of snow in the NE but I'd rather not be swapping tires for the season. My Duratracs while maybe not as good as a dedicated snow tire still do very well. Granted that's in comparison to the terrible stock Bridgestones that come on the Sport stock. I use 4x4 less than half as much as I used to need it before in the snow.

    Do you have a lift? I have a 2012 reg cab and would like to get new tires n rims. Id like to do 17 in rims over my stock 16 in and I'm not sure what size tire would be best for rain/ little snow/ little wheeling/ majority city driving. Would 265/70/17 fit under my truck no lift no cutting? Thanks if you can help
