Getting ready for 35s. Anybody have any issues with the Duratracs ? I'm wanting milder mud tire that handle well on wet roads and will last a while. Any input pros or cons

Here are some videos of the Duratracs in action in Moab! I have the 285 70 17 and I absolutely love them. I do a 5 tire rotation and already have 40,000 miles on them. I will get probably 20K more. I wish it had more sidewall plies but I haven't had any problems with the wheeling I do. I will get the 315s next. They're great in snow too.

I have a set of 285/70 17 since last summer.....have been great in all conditions so far but admittedly have not gotten a lot of off road miles...what little I have done they have performed well :twocents:
Once again technology eludes the aging.....always fun to view sideways photos :doh:

Just put a pair on lt285/70/17. Love them and really improved the look of my jeep [emoji23]

The only con I have heard is that the rubber is softer and doesn't wear as well for regular off-road use. I have no personal experience with them though. Everything else I have heard is great feedback. I looked at them for a long time but am planning on Cooper STT pros for more of a mud tire and that they offer a certain size that the duratrac doesn't.

I Love them and am on my second set of 315's, first set went over 50,000 miles. They work great in all weather and for the off-roading I do I have never had an issue. If they made them in 37's I would buy them when I retire mine from being a daily driver here in the next few month.

I will look at them, I'm not brand loyal.

Kelly is owned by Goodyear and you get the same tire with basically one for free (about $50 cheaper per tire in the 315).

Running 295/65/18 on mine and so far I love them... a little bit of a balancing issues when I first got them, but I think a lot of it was on the shop I went to. They have been perfect since I brought them to my regular shop after the original shop couldn't get it right in two tries. That's what you get for trying to get a deal....:doh:

The guy at my local tire store showed me these Dick Cepek, I can get five of these for 1428.00, that roughly 300 dollars cheaper than the Duratracs. Anybody have any dealings with the them ?

Two thumbs up for duratracs. Kick ass off road, in the snow, rain, yet confident and comfortable on the pavement. I just wish they made these in 37" tires. I have 37k on mine and still have 10/32 of an inch of tread left. Highly recommend them. I just switched to cooper stt pros and the jury is still out.

I have no experience with them but quite a few guys over run the Kelly's in 285/70r17 and reckon they're pretty good

I am really glad I came across this post! I have been looking at 285/70/17 and I was going between the 315s or 285's and I think I will be okay with the 285s. Its good to see a lot of you guys/gals are happy with them also. Anything is going to be better than the grapplers that I am currently running.
