    I drive very slow for sure!! Just I feel like my stock tires do even worse then the old summer performance tires I had on my Audi awd. That said, I agree with the suspension up here, I see guys driving in nissan altimas through back roads so fast a tire leaves the ground due to potholes and the like and I couldn't imagine doing that to my truck! Nice and easy over uneven pavement.

    They seem pretty flimsy so should be pretty easy. I've seen people do different stuff on the tailgate but not the door.

    Yeah they're actually pretty easy to break when you're pulling them off

    Update about those DuraTrac's at Sam's; they have to order 265/70R17 tires, they only carry a few sizes for those Goodyears. Orders take about 1-2 weeks
