I just installed a set of the Dura Tracs on our 07 HSE and really like them so far. As quiet as the Michelin Synchrone 4x4's that were on it and quite a bit more aggressive.

Two great options now for 19 and 20 inch wheels:

1. Goodyear AT Adventurer with Kevlar (#1 ranked best in class - Tire Rack)

255/60 R19 Just fine

@catman, I'm considering the All Terrain Adventure in 255/60/19 for the slightly extra sidewall and I simply don't need such an aggressive tire as the Duratrac. They do look pretty sweet though. My only concern about the 255/60/19 is the load rating. I'm pretty sure it won't rub, but not so sure the rating is high enough.

I just purchased my LR3 2007 HSE that came with R19 wheels. Hoping to have Duratracs where I live in the near future, I was hesitant as to which tire to purchase in the mean time. Luckily I realized that I had a set of Goodyear RSAs from an Acadia (with 3/4 of thread left) on 255/60 size. I was also worried about the tire load factor (111 XL vs 109 SL). I gave them a try, have them installed a week ago and they are just as good. I don't tow anything so I guess that might be a factor. Good luck with your tire hunt!

I don't think you get Duratrac with 255/60R19 dimensions. Right? The roughest tire i could find are the General Tire AT3. didn't try it yet. Any comments?
