He told me anything thats not repairable like a nail thew the side wall or from off roading he said we will cover anything that cant be fixed.

Yeah I know I can also do my alignment for free at school but idk its been used and abused So I might be better just to pay the 50 and get it done at the shop. Im pretty much in the middle of pa just a little bit more south. We really didnt get a lot of snow I think we have about 3-4in Im hoping for more I need more snow so I can cover up all my other donut marks in our field lol

Personally I love them they do great in everything Thats why I got them again.

This is last winter up at camp 1/2 mile road unplowed I made it up two hills was spinning pretty much the whole way but I didnt get stuck at all.

This is after a night of mudding I had mud up to my fog lights and I crawled right threw it

Nothing major but after that night I found out these tires dig and throw some mud

Just a few of the things I put the truck threw and never got stuck. When I bought this truck it had about 1/2 tread so I cant wait to test these tires out

I LOVE the BFG A/T TA's! Good pick up! When I need new tires I'll def grab another set. Had them on my XJ for 3 years with no probs. When I bought the dakota it had good tires on it already but I want my BFG's back.

Do you have issues with your Duratacs????

I love mine so far...I do neeeeeeed to get them into some serious stuff...but I had 0 issue in 3-5ft of snow last year...yes, I drove thru a 5ft snowed in rd for fun...It was for science...yes, i also had a decent pucker-factor. So did my passenger. Scary when your wipers really just expose more snow...ha!
They came in jsut about as meaty...bigger lugs tho...that was my decider...

....see if I can figure out pic posting code....or, look at my albums

Definitely getting another set of these when mine wear out! Oh and an easy way to clean them is driving throught the snow. Looks like you had some fun driving through that much snow. Thats how it is here now, and they work great.
