Goodyear Wrangler DURATRAC's

that sucks. i was hoping they would be good about not throwing rocks, so i could take my mud flaps off and not cringe every time i go somewhere

 

Their trucks if u don't want tires throwing shit keep them on the road lol . Get tires for road use only. Good luck finding a tire as good as the wranglerz that doesn't pick up rocks or whatever. I just bought my set and so far love them

 

Yeah my rockers are riddled with small spots of paint missin. Hahaha

 

i dont offroad as it is. the rocks i get come from the roads themselves. either loose gravel thats been dragged from the shoulder, or gravel roads that i have to drive on. (yes...we still have gravel roads where i live).

 

The tires will stop throwing them after they are broken in. They are still sticky

 

duratracs yep i got'em.

 

Those that have had these tires on for a while now, are you starting to experience the "cupping" action? This is when you rub your hand over the top and notice dips and bumps instead of a smooth surface (over course not to be confused with the actual tread).

 

no cupping. ive had mine on since February.

 

Have your alignment checked. Mine did it then i had it done along with a rotation

 

I have a little over 15,000 miles on mine and they are wearing very well. Rotate and balance every 5,000.

Anybody have and idea of how many miles you can expect to get out of these tires? I am hoping for 50,000

 

Thanks for the input guys. A mechanic told me mine were cupping. I felt the tires. I could see what he was talking about. I'm wondering if that is the vibration I'm getting in the steering wheel.

 

Ron told me about this, my tires are perfect just went down and checked.

When are you getting the vibration? At what speeds? I can only asume an alignment issue, who does your alignments? The Truck Shop does a darn good job.

 

on mine, had an alignment done with the 5100 install (Jan '10), rotate with every oil change. They have been doing fine, no issues.

 

Hey Matt,
Usually around 50 or 55. Mostly surface streets. I've got to get an alignment somewhere else to see if its any different than where I'm going right now.

 

I put 3m on my fender flares to protect from flying rocks.

 

Got pictures?

 

I got my dura trac put on not too long ago and I also got an alignment
but i'm drifting to the right so I'm going back this saturday to have it re-align again

 

i would also like to see pics. can you tell that you have it on, or does it hide 100%? and does it really protect well from flying rocks? i've seen this stuff before, but didn't know how well it worked. how much did it cost for you to get it put on?

 

ok i got re-alignment the second around
its better, not 100%
said something about my tire wasn't factory size... I didn't say anything, but I was planning to say... I could've told you that before!
then he said about 6 weight or bend, whatever that means... but that's the closest that I can get right now.
I dont even know what's the difference in weight from stock to my dura trac

 

I can't seem to find these for a good price anymore

I've been waiting for winter to get my new tires, and it's looming now

Can't find these under about $850 before TL rebate

anybody see any good deals? on 8/19 they wre at sears for $166, now they are almost $200

Tire Rack $820 shipped (not installed)
Discount direct $822 shipped (not installed)

Sears $857 installed (not including sales tax ($920 with)

I want to have discount tire match whatever best price i can find.
