Some OBX Vacation pics

Lets just say that there's nowhere to get stuck. I can drive the entire OBX backwards if i wanted to.

Awesome, im really considering them for when i put on the lift.

I highly recommend them. I've been though a lot of tires and this might be the first that I replace with the same type...

I have Duratracs on my Silverado and they do great. I was just wondering with them being a narrow 245/75 if they performed just as well....

Id go with 265/70/17 if i was ordering them today.

Any particular reason?
The reason im attracted to the 245 is because im trying to avoid running spacers with my stock wheels after the lift. So a narrow/tall tire would fill the gap but still leave me some clearance between the sidewall and the bolt. Only thing that concerns me is how the narrow tire will handle on the highway compared to a wider 265....

A narrower tire will handle better on the highway. The wider the tire, the more it wants to track in the grooves and pulls you around.

I wish i had more width for airing down offroad. With the weight of a fully loaded XK, the 245s seem to be a bit "thin" for the pressures needed for offroad traction. They're working OK, but the 265 width would let me air down a bit more.

Gotcha, thanks for the info. Enjoy the rest of your vacation

I ran the 265 on my last set of MT's without spacers and cleared the knuckle. Not sure why you don't want spacers so bad the set were all using are great and won't break and that wider stance you get is worth every penny.

Matt if you get no bites just move left or right a little bit sometimes that's all it takes and you don't need to cast far either. Walk down there at low tide and look for the slough cast at high tide and good luck bro. Oh and great pics glad your having fun.
