yeah, duratrac sidewalls are only 2-ply. If you want a tough tire get some TSLs or Pitbull Rockers...

Just do what I did and fill your tires with concrete instead of air. Just rotate the tire as you're filling it to get maximum space filled out. You may loose a few MPG but it's totally worth it.

Pick your favorite tire with kevlar/ most sidewall ply.. that's the best you can do unless you go military tires; they seem to be durable. Wouldn't promise any of them if being exposed to a high caliber rifle shot...

I didn't realize you were wanting tires that were actually bullet proof. There is a company (can't remember the name) that sells inflatable inserts to the military. It's a multi-cell design so if the tire takes a round or two, you only drop a couple cells and can still drive away.

Edit - found 'em:

hey man, i ran 46" military michelin xmls on my 2500 and they were essentially bulletproof, we pulled a .223 round out of them and did not have to patch it... i cant tell you how far the bullet traveled before it entered but it was in there and they were fine... shot them with my .22 and it bounced off... they were inflated to 55-60lbs as well... but as far as tires in the normal size range 31-37" your probably out of luck for the most part... my xmls weighed around 200lbs

If you have the penny, BFG Baja... otherwise I'd run some Nitto TG or Toyo OC AT2. All three are great tires and can handle just about anything you throw at it!
