    +1 for the Duratrac. I put 225/75s onto my D2 about 1000kms ago. So far I'm impressed. When aired down to 20 PSI they feel very stable, unlike a few other tyres I've driven on with 20 PSI (Maxxis Bravo 751, Dunlop RoadGripper). Maybe it's the stronger sidewall flexing less?

    I paid $305 each from my local fitter in Murgon.

    They are no noisier than the Bravo 751s they replaced. I'd bet that they will chew a little more fuel than a HT but it'd be a small difference I'd say.

    I'll take a photo after I've washed the vehicle tomorrow so people can see how they look on a stock (250 000kms/original springs and shocks) D2.

    Bringing an old thread back to life. I am going to the Cape next year. OTT. Looking at moving from my Maxxis 751 to Duratracs. I drove a Colorado the other day for 10 hours towing a van - the Duratracs were excellent on that.

    Any updated reports from owners?

    I am likely to get 245/75/16 size again to avoid tram lining.

    Cheers

    Yeah, ive got 32's and they are a great tyre. In fact they've surprised the hell out of me. Side wall is extremely strong, good in the wet and good off road. I cant really rate them in mud as i hate mud and try to avoid it (i cant stand the hours of cleaning after)....hope that helps

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."
