My new tires

Just got the new Dura Track installed on the truck and i really like them. I was shocked at how quiet they are, the salesman was going on and on and on about how loud they were and dont get them and you gotta get the silent armor tires etc etc. I didnt want the silent armor's so i went with the dura tracks like i wanted. here is what they look like

NEW TIRES

i am having touble uploading pics anywhere to the site, did this site reach max file size storage? Bandwidth issues? hmmmmm Well let me know what you all think of the tires! Anyone else have them?

fully stock as far as i know it, there are no blocks or spacers, the rear has the 4" block but that is part of the truck and i believe standard for F350's? As for the rims, if i had the spare cash i would get these, maybe next tax season hahaha.

I hope those are better than the old Wranglers were, I had a friend that got stuck in a level yard with them.

Just wet clay and the truck was not sinking in, just would not move.

These are some aggressive treads and there would be no getting stuck on the wet lawn haha. I know the ones you are talking about and they were always dogged out for that so they looked for something better and the silent armor and dura track are the result.

The ones he had had nice looking tread, but they did not clean at all.

Looked really bad with three tires turning and the truck not moving at all.

His was an 86 light duty 4x4 with a 300 6 in it.

yeah i would have been pretty mad about that. I have played around a lot with them already and i get tremendous grip on wet roads, loose gravel is no longer loose unless you floor it and mud, well i have to wait for some rain for that one. Wet grass though disappears in seconds and i leave nice 10 inch wide paths while gaining good speed! haha, dont worry it wasnt on the lawn!
