Default Goodyear duratrac p rated?

Anybody on here run these yet? Wanting to get rid of my Terra Grapplers 275/65r20 E rated and drop back to a P 275/60r20 for better ride quality. If anyone has experience with these yet please let me know. They seem like a great option to gain ride quality but still have decent size and aggressive look. Would love to see pics if possible.

Thank you!

I love my duratracs. Except for gravel.. stay away from gravel... They are the most rock throwing tire i have ever owned in my life. I have owned alot of Mud tires, and these babys take the cake.

The tread spacing is just perfect for the gravel they use on roads to stick in and throw out. Im running 275 65 20

lol I've had toyo open country at I and II, bfg AT Ko, nitto trail grapplers and terra grapplers, and toyo open country M/T... they all throw gravel. Fortunately I drive highway 95% of time.

What shocks are you running on the rear of the truck? Any notice of the rear feeling real jittery? That's the size I have now but still not crazy about the ride. Just want this one to finally ride nice and smooth.

Note: OP is asking for the P rated ones specifically. Not necessarily the LT rated ones that are probably 99% of the Duratrac equipped trucks.

P rated isnt going to change the openings on the tires. I just wanted to warn him is all. I have had BFG MT, MT KM MT KM2, BFG AT, Micky Thompson MTZ... Nothing comes close to these rock throwers. haha.

Yes. In a 275/60/20, the Duratrac is a P rated tire.

They have a 255/18 in a P-Metric tire that I'm looking at for winter tires. They're quite a bit lighter when you add all 4 together. The only problem I see is that they don't have as high of a load rating as the LT tires. (That's a given) I'm looking at this set up now. Don't have to worry about gravel here. It's sand, highway, or mud roads where I go. Lol.

Be careful with the lighter tires on these trucks. I had Duratracs and one of my sidewalls gave out at just under 40,000 miles, I still had good tread on the tires. It may have just been a fluke but I didn't trust it with my next set of tires.
