    My 245/70-17 Duratracs give a lot better ride than my Yoko AT/S 245/70-17 do. I've put it down to the Duratracs in this size have 2 sidewall plies whereas the Yokos have 3 plies but there might be other factors too, such as how many tread plies and what they are made of.

    Its not my vehicle but it was in the group I was with that did a couple of remoter desert trips. IIRC the front wheels rubbed a little under some conditions and I suspect also at the buldge at the front of the rear wheels, but nothing too bad. It looked awesome especially when the front wheels found air at the top of Big Red after a standing start at the bottom.

Mind you when I get them out on country roads at speed they might not feel so quite so sure footed, but time will tell.

    I've had them up to 160km/h in NT. Just wait until you try them off road...

    The mrs took the newly squired maxxis bighorns for some proper 4wd action around knglake yesterday. Apparently they worked pretty well and got up mud/clay hills even the trail bikes struggled to. She said soon as they left the bitumen they had a sigh of relief and smiled.
