I ran duratracs in the 33's for a couple years without any sidewall issues. With the 4 door I ran 35" nitto trail grapplers. LOUD... very loud... also commute about 70km each day + extra driving around. Realized I don't need that aggressive of a tire and wouldn't mind a bit more road comfort. Took them off and replaced them with 35" duratracs. Great for wheeling and nice and quiet. No lumping around feeling and the setup weights about 25lbs less per tire.

Not mine, but here is a video of some guy reviewing the duratracs. I love my duratracs though, great tire.

The hum does not bother me. I was looking at other tires but I just like the Nittos. I guess I'll just have to find the best deal.

Side note went out this weekend with a bunch of guys and the one with duratracks put a twig in the side wall . 2nd time !
Yeah, thats what scares me. I wheeled with a guy last year who was running duratracs. Rock went right thru his sidewall. I dont wheel alot but when I do I dont want to worry about my tires getting cut up.
