How does that compare width wise? Also, are these narrow enough where I could run my stock 17x7 Rubicon wheels?

 

Duratracs hands down! I got about 25k miles on mine and they are starting to wear. I expect 50k out of then easy.

Best damned tire I ever used in the snow. And I have had several jeeps with several tires over the years.

 

The duratracs are a great tire. Have had ours on for 2 years and 52k miles with no issues at all. I run the 315/70/17 at 28-30 psi which is 34", and do a 5 tire rotation. They do great in mud, snow, and good on the rocks. Will probably get another 10k before I have to replace.

Had problems getting them balanced on the Moto metal rims and wish they came in a bigger size, those are my only complaints

 

Another advantage to the Duratracs is that they are super quiet on the road.

 

The 315/70r17 Duratrac is about 12.7" wide. These will be too wide for your stock wheels. Goodyear recommends a 8.5-10" wide wheel. (9" would be ideal). Not only are your stock wheels too narrow but they also have too high of an offset/backspace. This size would rub hard without a lower offset wheel.

If you want to get the most out of this size tire I would recommend looking for a new wheel that is 17x9 with a -12mm(4.5"BS) offset or 17x8.5 with a -6mm offset (4.5"BS)

Let us know if we can help you more. Here's a link to some 17" options. Offset is listed in the size: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...*5-5%2F5.5&rw=

Lots of people (including myself) are running the 315/70/17 Duratracs on stock wheels. However, you will need wheel spacers for correct backspacing.

Run stock wheels fine.

 

hey Travis, I'm looking on your site at the MB Gunner 5 wheels. It says they are '6MTB' I see some wheels are '0MTB' and '25MTB' etc. What does MTB mean and does this matter for which 17 inch wheel I pick for my 2010 Wrangler Rubicon?

Also, can I get the $50 JK-forum discount if I order tires via your website, or do I have to call to place my order?
Thanks,
Jerry

 

WTF!!!! I have to pay 3500$ for 5 315/70/17 Duratracs.... And moreover wait for 1 month. They are not imported to CIS........ Will 285/70/17 destroy my jeeps reputation? :(

 

The -6 is the offset and the MTB is short for matte black. This 17x8 ET-6 MB Gunner 5 will work great on your JK
