    Thumbs up Pictures

    I got the tires a little earlier than I thought. Had a chance to test them out in the rain today and they stuck to the road like glue. Not too much hum on the highway either. Doing 70 the wind noise drowns out anything from the tires and with the windows up and the stereo down you can hardly hear them.

    The best part of the day was when the guy finished mounting them. He took a step back, looked at me and said, "What are you planning to do with this thing? Take it to MOAB?"

    Circmand and I are both from Western PA and can claim first hand experience...the snowy conditions could definitely use an aggressive tread...way better than having to put chains on (like I used to do at least 1/yr). For those that know the area.....I lived in Mt. Lebanon and had to commute to Pitt.....chains got me there on more than one occasion in my old little Honda Civic! Would have much rather had more aggressive tread like these Duratracs!

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    PittVXr--- Nice choice; that tire should dig like crazy in the PA snow, as it is Snowflake/Mountain rated. I see on TireRack that your specific size is available in two(2) versions: a "C" load range @ 45 lbs; or a "E" load range @ 54 lbs. Which specific "Load Range" version did you get???

    I went with the "C" load range. I wanted to keep the weight down as much as I could.
