    In my sig
    $160/tire. That's pretty pricey for my local wal-mart. Any snow reviews yet?

    nah dont worry about it. dont make any difference to me... i just didnt know who everyone was asking questions to is all :thumbsup:

    no snow reviews.We dont hardly ever get any here in east tennessee. We got some when I had my bald dunlops and they handled it fine. Never drove anything in snow with snow tires though so I have nothing to compare it with. I would say they would do fine. If we get lucky enough to get a inch or two this year I'll get back at ya with a review. Won't be a review like someone up north or in the midwest could give you, but better than nothing lol

    I'm just interested in how your Duratracs are performing in the rain, snow, and mud.

    They aren't Duratracs. They are Goodyear Wrangler Authority All Terrains. They do good in the rain, see post above for snow, and they do great in mud. They dont cake mud at all which is a big plus in my book. Theres a video of me going through a mudhole in my build thread. It was the day after I got the new tires. The mud wasn't deep but pretty slick. I just put it in 4lo and let it walk though. Thats more fun to me than doggin the truck through it.

    Yeah maybe if the tires are a success in the average sizes they will make bigger sizes. I'm ditching mine either way in a few months for some KM2's or Mud Grapplers!

    I love them. Mine are 265/75/16. They are great and everything, but they are just to small. It looks stock. With that size and the Billys at 2.5 and rear tsb, nobody that sees my truck everyday even has a clue I'm lifted at all. It was a waste of money to get the set up I have now. I shoulda just bought the cheapest tires I could find after I ran my dunlops to the wire so I could have my 6" lift a lot sooner.

    Long story short: Wanted a 6" lift w/ 35s from the start, but tried to settle with 265 75s and a 2.5" lift. Shoulda just waited for the 6" lift.

    That is all just my opinion on things. If somebody out there wants a 265 size A/T tire I would highly recommend them. They function great in all terrains I have used them in. I just prefer a larger lift/tire combo.
