    This is one of the best overall tires for our environment here for sure... Expensive as all hell though!

    If there is Montana one next year, I will do it for sure 100%

    The hills part is cool, the rest stinks... I used to have lingering knee issues when I hiked ridiculously long miles day after day until I started on fish oil and
    glucosamine and chondroitin.. I always start on them again after periods of inactivity too, I know research doesn't prove much one way or the other, but they always seemed to help me. I thru hiked the Appalachian Trail in 06 to NY where I had a journey ending stress fracture. After 500 miles hiking in a couple of months, I say no end to my painful mornings until I got on fish oil and glucosamine, soon I was pushing 30-40 mile days several times a week and was feeling nothing but hunger pains.

    I'm ripping off these rugged fails next paycheck and putting on duratracs. They only have 1,400 miles on them, but I can't take them anymore.

    I hope they keep doing the dirty dash somewhere around here, maybe somewhere a little more central than Billings though... I am pretty pumped for tomorrow even though half my team had duty call and can't make it, it's looking like me and one other buddy are running together since our team folded.

    I didn't get duratracs, but something similar. My rugged fails have approximately 30k on them now... Plenty of tread, but they are teh gays.

    I am up for it next year. Many things have come up to where I couldn't do it this year even if I wanted to, but such is life... Have a good time!

    Duratracs suck,

    I have been running Bridgestone REVO II's on my last truck and now this one, hands down the best tire i have ever owned. Spendy, but well worth it. The passenger version, 4ply are really quite on the road, and have a 50,000 mile tread warranty. The best wet/snow traction i have ever experienced. Rarely need 4x4 in the winter with these tires.

    Just sayin!

    I travel a lot of deep snow in the winter, I always use 4x4 and don't see that stopping. I am obsessed with ice fishing and there's far too many lakes that are hard to access, it's always a rip roaring drift busting winter for me and by that I mean I spend a lot of time digging myself out of places I should of known of better... But seriously, I haven't considered revo's since I don't really like the way they look and the more aggressive end of things don't really suit all the highway driving I do either, I think duratracs are a great middle of the road for what I am after.

    It was a freaking riot, I haven't had so much fun in ages. The Metra in Billings isn't the ideal place for something like this but they definitely made the most of it. It was a work out, but we could of easily throttled back and taken it a lot easier, we never stopped running unless we were crawling or climbing over obstacles. Hell, we even had a couple of beers before we ran it and they even had a beer chug stand a half mile from the finish. There was people of all shapes, sizes and ages, being ultra fit isn't a necessity.

    I was on a 5 man team but duty called, the same duty scrapped the few spectators we had coming with us, it made it hard to get many pictures, but we have a couple before and afters.


    Warming up before the race
