    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.

    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?

    Really that tight? I heard that a 255/75/17 fits after modification so I wouldn't suspect it to be that tight with a 245/75/17. I might just keep my stock spare and save some money.

    I can't see a 255/75R17 fitting down there unless it was totally deflated and the trailer hitch bolts were cut down for clearance.

    I believe Omelet did it. His was worn, deflated, and had a modded hitch like you said.

    That makes sense then if it was deflated
