Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac and Sunraysias
Hey All,
Need some new tires to replace the worn out ones (road tires) that came with my truck. Have looked into a few different brands/sizes/etc and talked to a mate in the industry. Anyhoo, I reckon I might go for a set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs 285/75R16's (33's) and some Sunraysia rims (black, of course) for less than $1500. Gotta order before 21 April to get the buy 3 get 4 deal and possibly to avoid falling off a wet road!
I'm looking for something that will give me some assistance off road and will also stick me to the bitumen to work and back on weekdays. And, just quietly, they need to look good too....
I'll stick the 17" alloys in the shed for a rainy day.
Are sunrays the go? Do I need to go for a specific offset? Another thread suggested 12mm. I've got a 2" lift.
Anyone got any issues with these tires? There are no responses in the Duratrac specific thread and my mate reckons they're pretty good.
Cheers,
Steve

Anyone? Bueller?
Was thinking about some BFG KM2s but they will probably cost heaps more.

DURATRACS have a good reputation and have a impressive looking tread. In my opinion the ATZ 4 rib is the go to tyre for what your discribling. there is no need to go the 12mm offset. standard offset is fine for 285's with the 2'' lift (in my gu ute). BFGs are overated in my opinion and i'd look no further then mickey T's
