    Amazon was being dumb and didn't have the 315/70R17 Duratracs in stock with free shipping, and the 285s were $280 bucks.... So I ordered some Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 in 285/70R17s instead. $227 each and still studdable. Reviews for them were pretty good and the Jeep guys seem to love them.
    My current tires are some worn down 265/70 (31.6x10.4) and these are just a little bigger. 32.7x11.2. Should fill out the wheelwells a little better I hope

    Sweet. I've always thought those tires seemed pretty cool and from what I've read there supposed to be pretty good.

    My only complaint is that I wish they had more siping
    Either that's a bad picture or they changed them but they have a decently aggressive sidewall lug that kept me from getting stuck more then a handful of times

    Yeah, I may look at getting them sipped later, we'll see how they do with studs first

    Holy Christ brother, that looks like it'll have some serious grip! Drive safe when the snow hits!
