Don't know if the 12.5s week rub. This is the biggest tire the dealer would recommend, and according to Goodyear, it's 33" x 11.5".

Can tell you that mileage dropped significantly. Even figuring in the difference in circumference and that the dealer didn't change the ecu, 15 mpg city is a huge drop.

I expected it to drop, so not a huge factor, and I'd still do it off I knew the total mileage drop ahead of time.


My only regret is not doing it sooner!

Looks awesome! Thanks so much for posting those pics. LOL. I have a levelling kit in my truck and the same rims, been wondering what duratracs would do to the look. I love it.

I have 45k on my Duratracs and will probably be needing another set in another 10k miles. I prefer the white walls on the inside, but it still looks good.

Actually, 15 mpg is about right if you didn't change the speedo. After my tuner changed my speedo, I was only about 1 mpg behind the mpgs of my stock tires. More aggressive tread means more rolling resistance.

I'm at 50k miles on mine with 3/32" left just enough to pass inspection. I already have my new tires sitting here waiting to be put on in the next couple of weeks! I think that's pretty amazing for what it is and this terrible Texas heat especially 4 years later.

Great tire! No complaints except harsh ride for only having a 2-ply sidewall.

Only the C rated Duratracs are 2-ply sidewall. The E rated Duratracs have a 3-ply sidewall. Most sidewall puncture complaints come from the Jeepers that get the C rated tire since they don't tow not knowing the difference between the two.
