Loving my new Duratrac's!

Just installed new GY Duratracs 31x10.50 and all i can say is wow! They look like a mud grip and ride like an A/T. I cant get over how quiet they are...more so than BFG a/ts even...going camping this weekend so i get to try em' out off road but def. happy with my purchase! thus far!

Tires look nice, I'd consider putting them on my Tacoma, they're a little too street-friendly for my 4Runner.

yeah, I think they'll look great. i want to travel throughout AZ to get to some fun trails so I wanted a good mix between AT and MT. These look to be right in the middle. Seems like lots of other have had success with them.

I've had them on my t100 for about 10k, and I love them. Still have about 3/4 tread left on them too. The only thing I have to disagree with is that after they got broken in, they got just as loud as any mud terrain. Don't bother me though. Still incredibly happy with the traction over a set of old bf goodrich's.

^ agreed now with about 3,000 on them they are starting to make a little noise not quite as loud as a mud terrain though; plus my old 1st gen. has so much wind noise at 65 MPH i can hardly hear them! lol....seem to be wearing pretty good too!
