Awesome, will be interested with your take on them.fulsizjeep wrote:Well pooh, my 33s are crap and the Jeep can barely stay between the lines at 65. :-q
I am getting a set of these through Walmart next week.
When I go 3/4 ton, they can go on Krista's big fugly Jeep.
I will be happy to report on the tires. The big fugly is her OTHER 401 Waggy. B-)Stuka wrote:Awesome, will be interested with your take on them.
And fromt he looks of it, Krista's Jeep isnt going to be so fugly once finished
I am also pretty sure that I am going with Duratracs. Awesome in the snow (one of the best tires I have ever seen actually) and do well on the trail.lindel wrote:I don't, and haven't, own(ed) a set of those, but I have heard they're one of the heavier tires made.
I do plan on getting a set of the Goodyear Duratracs for the Wrangler around the end of June.

They do balance the tire for the most part. Typically I have only seen people with large (38"+) bias ply tires run them as you cannot otherwise balance them. With a smaller tires, if you put in too much, you can actually put it out of balance as you will end up with too much weight in the area that they gather in. I would stick with standard spin balancing if at all possible.HeavyIron wrote:Why's that?jaber wrote:Go buy you a large bottle of Air Soft pellets @ Wallyworld, and put about 1000 pellets into each tire.

Won't they just roll around in there? Or do they even out and find the 'low' spots when up to speed?
At speed, they spread around the inside of the tread. Yes, too much will have a negative effect. I have been using antifreeze for years, the airsoft thing is kinda new for me. I have my own manual tire machine and find it hard to pay someone for something I can do myself at home.HeavyIron wrote:Why's that?jaber wrote:Go buy you a large bottle of Air Soft pellets @ Wallyworld, and put about 1000 pellets into each tire.
