I was really set on buying the Guard Dog retread tires (highly regarded on the Jeep forums) but I kept going back to the DuraTracs. My buddy on TitanTalk speaks highly of the Goodyears, and the snowflake symbol sealed the deal for me especially with my winter driving in Utah.
They should be delivered by Monday, so I hope to have some pics up by the middle of next week.

I was skeptical that 265/75/16 could make that much difference in filling up the fenders, but I was wrong. It does a nice job, and it helps with the speedo issue too.pawjr74 wrote:Looking good. You'll have to get into the next Path of the Month contest!
I'm really wanting to go to a 265/75/16 now. Got about 10k left on my current tires
As I stood behind the Pathy watching them install the tires, I noticed my back tires look like this:

It's not that bad of a slant, but it is noticeable. Is this why you were looking for cam bolts after you installed your lift? I wonder if there is a way to adjust the bolts?

Yes, The front end went into spec ok, the rear is still a hair out of spec. I don't seem to be having any adverse wear issues though. Did you get yours aligned yet?madrock wrote:I was skeptical that 265/75/16 could make that much difference in filling up the fenders, but I was wrong.

Yes, I got the alignment at Firestone. I'm not too happy with them right now. I purchased the lifetime alignment for my Titan, and I've brought it in at least 4 times now since I got my Nitto Trail Grapplers. The 4th time they tell me my tires are too wide to fit onto the rack. So WTH have they been doing the previous 3 times?pawjr74 wrote:Yes, The front end went into spec ok, the rear is still a hair out of spec. I don't seem to be having any adverse wear issues though.

Keep us posted over the next few thousand miles & let us know how they are aging. These things look a fair bit meatier than the Revos I have & which will also need to be replaced probably next spring. Looking at the various review sites, I notice quite a few people are complaining about sponginess of the tires & a super soft compound that wears quickly. Then again, there are equal numbers of people saying nothing but good things. I'll certainly give them a go when my Revos no longer do anything for me.madrock wrote:I ended up getting the DuraTracs delivered sooner than I had expected.

Sure will. We had a huge storm hit us on Tuesday evening. It went through flooded streets like nothing was there. I purposely tried to fish tail it around corners but the tires wouldn't comply. They were glued to the ground.NVSteve wrote:Keep us posted over the next few thousand miles & let us know how they are aging.
