New Tires:Goodyear Duratracs are on!

Tires are on! 295/65/18 Goodyear Duratracs.

I like them a lot, they are slightly shorter than the old 35s and narrower. But they look great I think. They still fit the look I was looking for, they are extremely more aggressive than what I was expecting which is a plus

They are SO quiet on the road compared to the old Pro Comps. The shop that installed them took almost 2 hours to install them But I did make it to class afterwards. Anyways here are some pics.






SVRT by Adam's Polishes makes black wheels & tires look amazing!







I'm thinking about setting the Bilstein's back down to 0" setting and get an actual leveling kit. There is still a little bit of rake, I wanna get rid of. What do y'all think?

Tires look good.
I was thinking that they should give some good traction in the snow, but then that is probably not much of an issue where you are.

Lowering your shocks and getting a leveling kit is a different road to the exact same location. No use in it unless you just want to spend money for some reason.

Possibly, but the 2" level setting barely gave me any level. The old 35s helped pick up the level slightly

I was going to get duratracs too... but at $1,800 for a set of 305's is a little too much for me right now. They sure look good though.

Looks great can you see the wheel weights all the time or is it just from the camera angle, maybe paint em black? otherwise they look really good, heard nothing but good reviews on them so far.
