    yea, when i was thinking of a tire that was light i thought of the duratracs but im skeptical of having a truck/offroad tire from Goodyear or Michelin

    I like the km2s :D
    They are a bit louder than my mastercrafts were but are pretty sweet so far none the less, and just go with a 265/75 and should be doing pretty good for gas and such. They were much heavier than the mastercrafts but these are 10 ply as well.
    Another id say is the treadwrights, havent had any hands on experience but from what ive found nothing but good reviews!
