I will be curious to see if my 285/60r18s rub on the radius arms. I have an OME 2" medium lift also. If it rubs I'm going with spacers on the front instead of adjusting the stops. Those tires look great though, I was going to get them but a bit too expensive for me with the cooper zeons being $128 each (plus shipping then installation of course).

I liked my Duratracs so much on my Rover that I bought a set of 285/70-17 Duratracs for my Super Duty. I am totally impressed with how these tires handle on ice and snow.

The only thing I didn't like about the Duratracs on my Rover was the outer layer of rubber on the sidewall was thin so it didn't take many trips off road before I was seeing the layers underneath. It never caused a problem but it wasn't very pretty. I aired down to 18 psi to maybe running a little more pressure would have prevented that.

Hi Torancis_LR, I got the Old Man Emu 2" Medium duty springs and shock absorbers plus the steering stabilizer. Never tried off road driving but somehow no signs of rubbing yet. I saw some forums that required some trimming somewhere with 32 inch tires and I hope I dont have to go that direction.

Hi AK Rover, So far, I like them and I was afraid that I might get some surround sound while driving but hardly noticeable even without the radio on.
Not a very nice sight to see the layers underneath. I read that they are suppose to have thicker side walls because they are rated E. You're right, probably you could have prevented that.
