All right guys, looks like I'm gonna do the Duratracs and lift next spring unless we get a bad winter here....hopefully. Gives me an excuse to do it early! Still rolling on the stock Forteras at about 50K and they're showing their age.

Holy crap i didn't realize our stock tires could last that long.... usually they're slicks by 40k
They've lasted a surprisingly long time. I'm really hoping we get some serious snow this year so I can upgrade but last Friday it was like 60 degrees!

Im running 245/75 R 17 Duratracs. I have no rubbing what so ever. I have had them for 2 1/2 years and they are wearing wonderfully. I rotate them every 6K miles. they are a little noisy to begin with but thats just because you will be going from the Forteras, theyre not loud compared to a MT or even some AT tires. They are kinda between an At and a MT as far as tread goes, I think. They ride just fine. I run them at 35psi normally and when offroading or on the beach I go down to like 18psi or so. Theyre pretty tough too. I have a couple rock/root gashes in the sidewall but never leaked and they have never " chunked " the tread neither.

They're definitely a tough tire!
If you can look beyond my "Sal" pose and check out that rear tire..... lol
Dang, this is really making me want to get some. I've never seen them in person but the first time I saw a picture, I was instantly in love.
Neil, thanks for the review. You're not running spacers, right?

Hey I got one more question for you guys, did you have to trim the tow hitch bolts to fit the spare?
