When 1st getting them they were really great and pretty quiet but have since gotten noisy and lots of road slap. They grip well in rain and dirt.

They come in C and E rating, so either 2ply or 3ply.

I will repeat... I live in Wyoming. These tires have endured some of the harshest conditions and serious off-roading. They replaced the stock tires after I received a slow leak and sidewall puncture in two tires in one day. I have not have a sidewall puncture with these tires. After four years, I put a puncture on top in between the tread. But I likely hit some glass. Lots of bottle glass in the Wyoming desert (even the most remote locations), thanks to the drunkards! These also seem to be the most popular tires here, especially for oil field workers. Just about every truck has them. Oil field workers are tasked with checking wells in meters in the harshest of conditions, in remote locations of the desert all year long. I don't think you will go wrong. Save you some money and go duratrac! BTW the tires outlasted by front hub bearings, offroading.

I am very impressed the way they looks and the way they perform. It rides smooth. I thought it would be little bumpy, but I was wrong. Road noise is very minimal for this big and aggressive tires. I felt minor hit on acceleration but that where my future PCM mode will shine.

They rubs on full lock. I still need to crank the torsion bar, I hope that will solve the rubbing issue.

T bar adjustment or bone stock dealer setting, they will rub at full lock. Easy solution...... you do not need full lock on the pavement, so don't turn so sharp.
