I bought my duratracs knowing full well they are made in USA! Here is a pic of the 325 65 R18 Wrangler Duratrac.





Don I agree about the 18 inch rim. It was popular but now interest is waning so selection goes down and price goes up.

camodown that is my luck , i will get stuck next time just because i said i never do.lol
its about 5 miles to the next house from the land i lease, i got stuck last year about 11 pm at night.
my wife was not happy to get that call, and bring me the comalongs i forgot at home.
WALT, i saw the 325's on the showroom floor but they look good on the rims.
thats what i was wandering about.
how much lift do you have. mine is only 4''
with the rims i have (diamo) i gat spring rub on the left side.
only once when i was turning down into o ditch and the spring compressed did i rub somewhere on the fender.
but my metal car port is only tall enoughfor me to go maybe 1 1/2'' or 2'' at the most.

I have 6.5 lift now,but ran 4.5 in the past with 325 65 R18. The duratrac version of this size seems to run a bit small in comparison to other brands such as Nitto. You can alieviate some rubbing by trimming the valence if you still have it on. see pic:



Also you can pull your fender liner back with some zip ties or an small turnbuckle.

I almost bought a set a few weeks ago when i trashed a tire, but I decided to hold off when the local tire store had my same exact tires in the same size used for $50/piece.

However, In a couple months I plan to get these in the 315/75 R16 flavor. Glad to hear some good reviews about them.
