The diratracs here in Alberta from fountain tire is $500 a tire. That's the 305/55/20. I can see why people are a little scared of them... Lol

You're correct. Duratrac's are $80-$100 higher. This is a a thread about the Toyo's isn't it?

Side note: I don't know if you are looking for a tire for the snow, but something like my Trail Graps suck. Deep snow where the lugs can bite is fine, but a little bit of light snow or greasy stuff and you have no traction.
I can second this trail graps are grap nothing graps haha they aren't good in mud either they fill up and won't clean out so they turn into damn race slicks. Also they wear out FAST I don't think mine will go longer then 35K

for those that have bought the 305/55r20 AT2's, can you report on your MPG's after some time with them? I'm really close to getting the Terra graps in the same size, but XL rated since they're lighter, but if the MPGs are similar to the AT2s, i'll probably just get those.

I ran the terra graps in 305/55/20. Was averaging between 16 and 18 L/100 km on highway. Had balancing issues with the tires and looked too "street tires-ish" I was looking for a little more aggressive look. From what the thread suggests the AT2 looks a little more aggressive. Just a thought..

Agreed. Terra Grapplers while perhaps being a good tire, aesthetically are a little too mild for my taste.

Well the 305/55R20 AT2's are on back order. My tire guy says Toyo is taking a long time to get the new AT2 out to everyone while they still have a lot of the original AT's in stock. So....son of a beach!
