I've put about 15k on my duratracs so far. They look like I should get about 45~50k out of them, although they might not be great off-road for the last 10k or so. I've been doing a 5-wheel rotation every 6k miles.

Default wildpeaks

I am a big fan of my 33 wild peaks

I am collecting the parts for a 4 inch lift. Will be using the 37 wildpeaks then.

Reasonable price and great road manners.

I am definitely a road warrior. 18k miles so far this year.

What about durability when airing down?

Someone had posted that they had problems with sidewall damage?

I did a boatload of research and never read anything about that until after I made the investment!

I looked into those but ended up going with the duratracs and love them but I have heard a lot of good things about the wild peaks

I just got some Goodyear duratrac 285/70/17's and I took them out on a club ride Sunday and they performed really well...

Everything from steep slick rock to 20 inch deep mud pools and they seemed to be really good at shedding the mud

Looking forward to the chance of some heavy snow from this storm were having

My mileage went from 10.8-20.1 to 18.0

I only track it for engine performance, if I was really worried about mileage I'd have bought a Prius...

Btw, this is on a 2012 jk sport with six speed manual and a brand new pair of Goodyear duratrac's 285/70/17
