Since this is still your DD as is mine, how are the Wrangler Duratracs holding up? Are they wearing good? You still happy with them? I'm about to mount a set of 33's on mine. (I went back and checked the date you installed your tires. I thought it was longer, but I'd still like to know.)

Oh there an awesome tire, they do great offroad granted there no super swamper but I have made it thru mud pits that a tacoma on 33's got stuck and he had KM2's. the biggest thing for me was how great they were in the snow, just as good as a BFG all terrain. And sense there not to expensiveI say there a great tire....tread wear I have noticed any but i rotate them every 3000 miles
