Duratracs

thanks for your comments.
i agree there are tradeoffs.
i had not fully considered kendas or the BFG KM3 mud tires.
ive been watching the moab easter rock crawl festival on youtube. might go to moab next year.
i now have 60,000 miles to think about my duratrac purchase;
unless my block heater burns up the truck first!!

 

Duratrac, however, do not like 8" lag bolt

UPS truck kicked one up in front of me at 65mph

 

could have been worse i suppose.

 

talk about forced penetration...

 

Cost me two tires lol. They were worn enough I didn't want to replace just the one. Expensive bolt

 

those are real beefie I ended up going BFG k02’s just based on past experience. Got a lot of great feedback mostly positive on the duratracs so maybe next set

 

A fine choice. See you in 60-70k miles when it's time to pick again lol

 

that’s messed up…. Think of the odds of that. I just had new tires and wheels put on last week I had a nail in my stock Goodyear’s didn’t even know??

 

Nails can hide. Lagbolts tend to make themselves known lol

It is what it is, luck of the draw I guess. I haven't had a cracked windshield or blown tire like that for years and years.

So now next week I'll probably take a brick through the windshield and run over a ladder in the same day.

 

Lol it’s so true and there’s nothing you can do. I got a 3” deck screw in my mountain bike tire and I was in the middle of the frickin forest.

I rented a truck was returning it 2 miles from the airport and took a rock cracked the windshield had no insurance on the rental…

 

wow

 

Yeah I was shocked how aggressive they looked when I first saw them.

 

'Weak sidewall... Should've got KO2s bro.'

 

my tire guy said they are by far the most aggressive looking tire which is why I almost went with them

 

I once had a 14mm wrench pierce my stock wrangler sr-a tires on my ranger.

It was very interesting experience haha.

 

And they got very deep tread.

 

I saw them stacked in my driveway when I got home Wednesday and thought, 'Shit, they sent Mud Terrains by mistake'.

 

Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek? Because I still don’t see that size listed on the Cooper website.

 

Oh no, my bad. I thought you were talking about the Duratracs.

 

Goodyear MT/Rs are my second favorite tire. Don’t get iroks lol they are trash in the rain but I have never seen a third gen on iroks anyway lol
