Are they both 10 ply tires?

What kind of rig is it going on and is it your daily commuter? What size/ply
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

They are going on my suburban.  I currently have 285/75/16R on it now.  I would like to keep the same size.  I'm not sure if they are 10 ply or not.

Wranglers, i had some very very similar hankooks and hated them....
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

I have a buddy that ran those duratracks on his full size chev truck and they wore pretty damn good. the open shoulder on those will wear quicker if you don't have your rigs alignment dialed and or if you don't keep up on roatation/air pressure. I have that tread desing on my subaru bratt and i like it. :twocents:

Kelly Safari TSR. Similar to the Goodyear's but not as expensive. Fairly quiet, great grip, no complaints.

I was in the same position a few years ago and went with the hankooks based on my mechanics recommendation. What he told me was this. hankook is trying to break into the north American market and therefore setting a lower price point.they have been excellent for my purposes and have worn well.

Make sure the tires really have the 10 plys and are not "equivalent" rated. I wont run anything less then "E" rated on my rigs again.

I run the Duratrac Wranglers on my Silverado which is my daily driver. I have the 285/75/16 size.

I put these on when they first came out, 4-5 years ago?) and have been extremely pleased with them. They do great on all the mountain roads and in the snow during the winter, traction has never been a problem. They do enjoy picking up rocks though. They have worn very well with regular rotations. I easily have 40k miles on them and they still have plenty of tread left. They aren't noisy at all either. I average 14.5-15mpg no matter city or highway driving with them, so I did take a slight hit there. Overall, great tire that I've been extremely pleased with.
