Ffx-4, I put Goodyear Duratrac's on. Size: 315's/70R-17..Total cost for them installed was $1,225. I had a guy powdercoat my factory wheels then had the tires installed.


Here's a closer look at tire with factory wheel:




Hope This Helps!

I really like those tires. Probably one of the better void ratio ats on the market right now. If I could find some dependable mileage numbers on them they would be my next set.

Naw...They're just dirty. The powdercoat turned out great.. the above pic doesn't do much justice.

Thanks! Did my research and so far definitely happy with the Duratrac's, almost no hum driving down the road at all speeds.

We had a set installed on our Jeep Wrangler 18 months ago, that was 20k miles ago, so far I'm not seeing the wear on those and still no tire hum.

+1 Had a set on my old Chevy that was on there for 60k miles... Weren't even at the wear bars when I got rid of them, they were just losing their factory sipping from wear. Wore evenly too and were by far the best AT I ever used in the winter... Their reputation comes with a price though, they're pretty expensive where I live now and Its just as much to have them shipped to me.

My F150 had them when I bought it, but they were pretty worn down. Still weren't all that noisy though and did great in the rain. Never got a chance to use them in the snow... Although I'm waiting. lol

Default Anything?

35x12.50x17 mud tires ordering them this Saturday but a couple questions. 1. I have my aftermarket torsion keys cranked to 24.25 and my upper ball joint bushings are pinched together and squeaking would the additional inch of the tread help stop it or should I lower it? 2. Understand that I only need to trim front valence with this setup but if loaded down with a trailer or some weight in the back would trim of the back fender be necessary? Also while I’m here I’m about to replace a cv after I had my keys cranked to hard since it’s been lowered shouldn’t it stop cvs from tearing haven’t had nothing from my passenger side ball joints or cvs happen just my driver side that keeps tearing I hope the tires help compensate it. Anyway any responses help just some last minute thoughts before buying some mud terrains.

You will be fine. I went to 23.75 just for the extra ride comfort and had no trouble. Do you have a screw? Your CVS should survive a whole lot longer now.
