Default Goodyear Duratracs

Does anybody have Goodyear Duratracs on their Disco? I have a stock 2003 Discovery and I want to replace the tires with some 265/65/18
tires. It looks like they will fit without rubbing but wanted to see if anyone has actual experience with them. Thanks

I'm running 265/65r18 Coopers on my Disco, perfect fit. Should've been the factory size.

As for the Duratracs, I've heard absolutely nothing but good things. Go for them!

Running Duratracs on my 07 H3, and 98 D1. Great tire for the $$$ vs BFG. I am a huge BFG fan, but when it came time to get tires for my D1 I've had such good luck with them on my H3 I decided to go with them again. They wear very even if aired up properly, and I love the aggressive look from the side, they also have built in rim protectors which is a nice touch.

I just got my 04 D2 and it's got some 265/65R18's on it, but what I wouldn't do for a set of 265/75R16 Duratracs! I plan on a 2inch TF lift on the D2 along with a winch and more aggressive tires.

I ran Duratracs on my Jeep. They are an awesome tire. They are quiet and snow rated. When the tires on my Disco wear out I'll be putting duratracs on.

Have duratracs on the pathfinder, great traction in the snow and mud but it took multiple trips to several shops to get them balanced. It took a bunch of wheel weights to get it right. Not just on one like you would expect if a tire was a bit out of spec but all 4 required it.

I have the Goodyear Wrangler Authority tires from Walmart. Damn fine tire and very similar to the duratracs.

I put 265/75 R16 Duratracs on my 04 Discovery last summer. They were great in the snow last winter and have been terrific off road in West Virginia and southern Ohio.

I was planning on the Duratrac's next time I need tires, but I was going to go with 265/60-18's. I don't want the chance of rubbing with no lift.
