    If I can get the duratracs around here for a decent price I'd buy them. Most places want $1200+ for tires mounted and balanced etc. Tried to order online for cheaper and they are on backorder at a few online stores. I can get the kellys for $570+tax and have them mounted, balanced and new stems for $109 at local shop. Will probably try to sell my old tires to recoop a little money but they are pretty low on tread and may work for someone trying to go back to stock just for the trade in. I think california prices tend to run higher for tires and service! If anyone in socal know a good place with good prices on the duratracs let me know!

    265/75/16. Itll be a little over $700 after tax/mounted/balanced. Most shops still want 200+ for the kellys around here. I found online for $144 and can be picked up which save on shipping. Its probably 40min drive but the best part is my friend lives in that city so he will pu for me!

    285/75/16s are $172/tire if only I liked trimming! Billys are at 1.75 so dont think these will fit but am going to 2.5 soon (still probably wont fit, hahaha.)

    though I've heard great things about Duratracs, I just couldn't get over how awkward they look.

    BFGs are great but I ran them on my old truck and the only thing I didnt like was how they handled in snow. They where a little slippery otherwise a great tire, thats whynthe design hasnt changed in years! I would get them but just want a different look and feel. If the kellys suck, Ill sell them on TW and buy the BFGs!

    Love the look but not practical for my driving. I am looking at getting a old jeep cj-7 and would definitely run these!

    i wouldnt suggest these... i bought these for my truck, fantastic tire, until you wear them down to about half tread, now they suck balls, and i wish i could get rid of them before the snow flies. Buy a tire that had good performance from start to finish.

    Thanks guys! These things drive great, quiet on freeway. I bought them and the first day I was trying to get used to how they look. 1 day later, I love the way they look! Nice, aggressive M/T look without losing major mpgs and increased road noise. Cool tires!

    I'd like to suggest Kelly Safari TSRs, had them on my last Taco, look good, better than the duratracs in my opinion but very similar, ride and performance was excellent
