    What do y'all not like about it?
    We thought it looked pretty good. (it's more for cutting down glare than looks)

    I know I wont get actual 60k+ but they are rated for that with warranty from discount.

    if they wear too soon they give a credit towards another tire.

    Had to go through that bullshit with my BFG AT KOs that were a 50k warranty tire. I got 20k tops.

    My current tires are a Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac with 10k and look close to new still

    yeah i was pretty pissed when at 20k they were below the /32 line of being a safe tire.

    I shelled out money 1 by 1 as they went bald, thats why I had so many spares.

    when I got the BFG MT KM2's they got nearly 40k no prob and my dad is using them.

    Rotated every 3-4k and always had proper alignment. I was 90% freeway when I had the All Terrains for work with a 30+ minute commute.

    Yah always good to have a higher mileage warranty and get them to prorate on the next set. I was pretty disappointed with the mileage on the Bridgestones but kinda hard to not get on the skinny pedal and rail the car in the corners.

    As far as the duratracs go, I am at around 40k and still have a ways to go. Have been really great all around tires so far.

    Yeah, it looks weird, but it needs non-gloss.
    Not much, gonna drain and refill my cousins trans tomorrow, and depending on how tough it is i'm gonna do mine instead of the shop, and we're waiting for friday to roll around, my cousin is getting a new HU on friday (supposed to be delivered then) so we're gonna install his sub in the next few days and hook everything up friday.

    I kinda like it, but i've posted in the photoshop thread to see what it would look like all black.
    Thanks, i taped it to what i thought was even, and what would look good.

    I am a huge fan of the Duratracs for sure, I will continue to buy them. I have the c rated version which is a little lighter tires with a slightly less enforced side wall. ran is at 12-15 psi all weekend in the susperstition trip with no issues.

    Got tired of the site for a while so I was off it and laying low.

    I want to actually do stuff with other members again like trail runs and camping.. but we have a lack of leadership it seems in the SD area for that stuff.

    Lets get a thread started on it. :)

    A member PS'd this.

    Oh, well in that case give me a captain's hat....land-ho...:p




    I'd get the OEM shit Gabe if I was you, It's different for sure, not really grease, well let me take that back, it's a type of grease, maybe synthetic but it feels alot different than standard petroleum base lube, pretty sure you can get just that at stealership
