    Had my 215/85-16 Duratracs installed today. I think they look awesome. The truck is 1-1/2 taller so now my rear work light hits the door when I try to pull in to the garage. The rear comes with in an inch of the exhaust pipe. Posting some pics for future tire shoppers.

    Looks good.
    Is it just me, or do those look really wide for a 215/85/16?

    I thought the same thing, I feel like the sidewall bends out more then most that plus the sidewall tread makes them look wider. I'm excited, let it snow!

    Duratracs have soft sidewalls, I'm on my second set.

    Duratracs are ok in snow, but far from great.
