Hang tight; I won't be able to get some pics until Saturday. (4.6M things on the to-do list for today, unfortunately.) I'll get one with a tape measure so you can see specifics. In the meantime:
Load range = C. The ride feels great thusfar. I'd say it's comparable to stock, but that's only after about 25 miles of on-road driving. I haven't felt a performance hit, and there hasn't been anything that has jumped out as being excessively different/abnormal. The Duratracs are definitely quiet.

Thanks for the feedback ... Sounds great.
patiently waiting for pics

I thought that having 15's and large tiers did not go so well together. When one air's down there is not enough strength in the side walls and you can risk popping them off bead. And even fully loaded with air, the wall is still going to give on turns?
I mean, I like the cheaper price of the tires, and less weight, but I thought when reading through all this in other threads, there is these disadvantages.

As promised, a few pics of the MB72s. These are 33x12.5x15 Duratracs on a 1.75" spacer lift.

x2. But, I think it has more advantages. (Maybe this will change some minds)
