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?

I didn't have a full sized spare, but I know corey trimmed his and its still tight with a worn down duratrac he got off ebay.
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 believe Omelet did it. His was worn, deflated, and had a modded hitch like you said.

That makes sense then if it was deflated
