Yes, they are 325/60R20 goodyear duratrac. I absolutely love them. I am on my second set. The first set lasted about 60,000 kM. I don't totally abuse them but I am not all that easy on them either. They lay down a black streek every once in a while. I drive on snow and ice 6 months of the year and they are basically a winter tire you can leave on in the summer. So for my location they are perfect.

Thanks

well thats a good thing! cause i plow snow so i definately need a snow tire! id go back closer to a stock tire but there isnt anything really aggressive enough looking.. i like the look of an aggressive tire on my truck! and this good year is not quite as aggressive as the nittos. do they have much road noise?? im pleased with the nittos all around other then the fact of how fast theyre wearing!

No not much noise at all. On the hi way you can't even hear them. Just take a look at the tire before you buy, some of the smaller sizes are not nearly as aggresive looking. Other than that, all I can say is thay I could not wait for my first set to wear out so I could buy another! It would take something big to get me to buy anything else for the conditions I drive in.

Thanks

There are a few guys that started plowing with the General Grabber around here and they seem to like them and the red lettering on the outside of them. They are really expensive though.
