The Dura Trac comes in a 295/65/18! That's the first tire that size i've ever seen. Those are some good looking tires.

What is that equivalent to?

33.7 x 12.2 ?

If so, that'd fit nice under a leveled F150.

It's rated down to an 8" wheel, too. That's .5" smaller than the 305/65R/18 BFG AT's I have that i need to replace in the next week or two IIRC.

Hmm...

Just looked at the link. It's a 33.1 x 11.8. I could get down with that.

I was looking at the Wrangler Silent Armors and saw the Duratracs. They look awesome but aren't rated much higher off road and you would lose alot of traction on road.

For what it's worth, I used to run MTR's on my jeeps, and their dry traction (rated 1 point below the Duratracs and 2 below the Silent Armors) was pretty satisfactory. The MTR's wet traction was awful, to the point of being outright dangerous.

...the Duratracs and the Silent Armors are rated much higher than the MTR's, thankfully, and I doubt the dry traction of the Duratracs would be a major problem.

On dry roads my Denman Ground Hawgs were fine just loud. On rainy or icy roads they were horrible, that's what I'm saying. While they looked awesome and were great off road, I didn't feel safe at times. That's why I would pick a more street worthy tire.

Yeah, the Wrangler MTR's are quite expensive. These probably will be too.
