Goodyear Wrangler DURATRAC's

I got the wrangler MT/R's they look a lot like the duratrack's, gas milelage sucks though, loose about 25% vs. tires with a lower rolling resistace, they look great though!

 

25% seems a little excessive. that would be about 5mpg

 

you would be lucky to see 1-2 mpg difference

 

Couldn't get a real good pic since it is dark out. I love how they look. Tomorrow wheels turn black.

 

Its at Ft. Hancock in Sandy Hook, NJ. Whats is behind the truck is whats called 21 gun row where they had some huge ass artillery on train tracks, and a bunch of other stuff facing out over the ocean. I think its been there since 1908. Theres also a lot of pillboxes and abandoned military buildings in the woods across the sandy hook bay in Hartshorne woods.

 

Nice. Just about the same deal up in the SF bay area at the Presidio and across the Golden Gate in the Marin headlands. Those places are so cool to visit. We even have one down in SoCal over in San Pedro.

 

So I was searching Ebay and found where you got the tires but they have them at $213 a piece, the set for $852. Did they go up a little or I'm I not looking in the right spot? Thanks! I know it's not much, but every little I can save adds up. I gotta a few things I still need to buy.

 

What load rating are you guys getting on the Duratracs?

E or C???

 

C for me...

 

I got the E rated only cause I got a deal I couldn't pass up. After the tread lightly rebate it will be 625 OTD. So it mabye overkill guess we'll see.

 

Tread lightly rebate? What is that?

Thanks Matt...I was just found the link and all the info right after I posted.

 

Ditto. What PSI is everyone running?

 

42 PSI for the street for me, load C.

 

Any suggestions for E rated 275/65/18 street psi? 80 is max, 35 feels good with no sidewall squish but seems low. Thinking 40-50 would be more correct.....

 

Yeah mines at 35...thinking about 40+

 

I have 265/70R17's on my Access cab sport. Doing the chalk test, I have 35 in the front, 33 in the back.

With these pressures, they are slightly overinflated, as about the last outer half of the outer most lugs still had chalk on them.

That's fine for me, I'd rather then be a tad too much psi than too little.

 

with our back ends so light ( carbon fiber bed ) i found the best tire pressure to run is
32 psi up front, 24 psi in the rear.
came up with this doing the chalk line test, like i do with all my tires.
And now, any time i run over gravel or dirt or wet pavement, something that sticks to the tires, it still shows complete coverage of the tires with a hint of the outer edges not getting to much.
in other words, a perfect pattern

 

I run 32 all the way around. Works great for me - ski's is your e load or c load ?
