LOTSOFTOYS PANDA BUILD

all your cams spin 360* inside the tabs? have done them before, if not how are they not seized?

let me know what I can help you with

 

huh.... the coopers weigh 55 and the duratracs weigh 54. only 4 pounds difference, i can feel it though for sure while driving. figured it was more

 

Wheels maybe?

I felt a difference too

 

It's just brand new, well balanced tires with no chunks missing

 

lol i could tell a difference this morning though with snow traction. not as good as the duratrac

 

Yes and no. Snow was wetter by me and my tires that have done well so far this winter did not hook up well today as I backed out of the driveway.

So is the variable the thread pattern or the snow type?

 

more the stiffness of rubber. I would've not slipped nearly as bad with the duratracs

 

I can see that but the snow was still different today so I say give it a few more snowstorms or a good snow bashing trip like we had last spring.

 

im getting anxious to get out

 

I have not had a tire play better in snow/ice than the duratrac. Curious to see how these compare. MTR's are a rough switch from the duratrac in bad wintery conditions...!

 

they do have 2 lines of siping in each larger tread block on the sides but nothing like the duratrac. having both tires side by side you can feel the difference in rubber density. obviousy i wanna actually drive a few thousand miles with the coopers first but i have a pretty good idea as to which does better in snow.

yeah i was not impressed with mtrs at all

 

Hummmm. I leaning more toward the MTR's over the duratrac's. Now you have me double guessing. Good thing I have plenty of time to think about it.

 

I love my MTR's for everything except slushy or icy road conditions. They are awesome aired down on trail no doubt!

 

I'd say... since you're not go'n 4x4 swap soon... Duratrac's... even then... I'd still probably go Duratracs... That or the Cooper Discovery Maxx are my next tire... My Toyo Open Country MT's are nice, but haven't seen them Out perform the duratracs yet in snow or mud...

 

this^ especially if you are gonna stay 4x2 Ray, duratracs will get you further than mtrs no doubt in our winters

 

2nd gen wheels on a 1st gen Looks great jace!! That was a quick flip, didnt think id get to see them all mounted up that quickly. I almost went with the ST Max as well.

Everyday i walk into the garage and look at my new mastercrafts i think dang i cant wait to get them mounted up!!

 

That's how I feel about my light bar...

 

Sounds good Jace. I'll go with the duratrac's. Most likely 285 75 16. Thanks.

 

get them on already!?

yup and get load range e
