Nah, but I still have it so if they don't want to safety it I'll get some new bushings and throw it back on!

 

That's what I thought you had to do. Alot of auto cross guys don't run a front sway on fwd cars and just leave it there disconnected.

 

To keep the traction down? Huh son much body roll!

 

From my understanding it helps your inner side suspension deform better for better traction.

 

Yeah i can see that! Because that tire will drop farther

 

But I was thinking soft springs with massive sway bars would do well though

 

Yeah im not sure the theory behind it. I assume its because there is more independant movement and that helps on a tight auto x track?

 

I've got 265/75/16 duratracs for sale. only have 20-25000 on em.

 

I could totally fit those on my tracker. Does anyone have a sawzall they want to get rid of?

 

$700 bucks today if you want them. I'll even drive them up to the city too.

 

I like the Duratracs, but want to move to a different size tire. I have to change my rims to run with out spacers anyway, so I figure I might change the tires at the same time.

The size I want is 255/75r17. I ordered Duratracs a while back, but there seems to be an issue on the Goodyear end with production or distribution in that size so I might only see them as early as the end of this month.

What I will probably do is just wait for the 255 wide Duratracs to come in, but until I get them I am running without a full size spare and I don't like that. Even though I hardly ever blow a tire, and it is almost always a nail or a screw when it does happen.

How do they handle wet asphalt?

I kind of like the tall. skinny look. Most of my off road driving was in Army G-Wagons, I think the tires are a little more than 34" high and a little less than 10" wide.

 

Sorry man I was joking there. for my little shit box to take those i need a custom lift and alot of cutting. Sounds like someone should be getting decent tires though

 

Ok fine, $650. offer only good till 5pm tonight

 

They're actually really good! The deep lugs contact the pavement before you get enough water under them to hydroplane, my street floods every rainfall, i barel through it and not a hitch to it

 

Nice! Hydroplaning is my #1 concern with tires, (road noise is not even on the list).

If I had 16 inch rims I would be looking a lot harder at 33" 255s.

 

I have 16 inch rims for sale too!.......theyre for a jeep though.

 

Yuck, who has a jeep?

 

Keep an eye out for a set on kijiji, or maybe someone on here would sell a set of TRD Offroad wheels, they'll do

 

my friend just gave me his old CB. My flag pole might have a new role soon....

 

Dude i was just at Crappy Tire, they have a Champion 2" reciever hitch with d ring, is that the same one from Princess Auto that goes on sale from time to time? I was going to buy a buggy whip and get a case of cans so i could have a flag, but my daughter was getting a bit frustrated, apparently she doesn't enjoy crappy tire like dad does
