A quick ride on the beach.
With the weather so nice here in South Jersey, and after getting new tires on the truck, I decided what better way to see the sand traction then to hit the beach in this beautiful weather. It was so nice.

Re: A quick ride on the beach.
Thanks. I got the Goodyear Duratracs. My truck is used as a daily driver, and I needed something good on the street, but wanted something a little more aggressive then the BFG A/T's that were on there. Nothing bad against the BFG's and I have to say that I had 77000 miles on them and they still had tread. Just wanted that more aggressive look. They are rated really good in snow and mud, and I have to say very quiet on the street.
Last couple years have been great for snow here in South Jersey, so having these tires are a plus and they handle the sand well so thats another plus.

Oh i know exactly what you mean! I live In maryland and im shopping around for some good tires for rain and snow also. I was looking into Nittos and tirerack also offered Yokohama Geolander AT-S in the size im looking for but, but i know nothing about those tires. I also want something more aggressive!
I like the way your set up looks! where did you order your tires?

Re: A quick ride on the beach.
After shopping around the best price I found was at Tirerack.com. However when I went to order they were back ordered. By chance I went to the local Goodyear corporate dealer and figured I get a price. Tirerack was $251 per tire and $24 per tire shipping. Goodyear wanted $320 but when I mentioned tirerack price they matched it. Better for me too because if I ever do have an issue I can take it locally for the remedy.

Re: A quick ride on the beach.
Another plus with Goodyear right now is if you get their credit card, it is 6 months no interest and $80 rebate on the 4 tires, even saving more. Took the card, pay it off in first couple months and enjoying the 80 in savings.

Re: A quick ride on the beach.
looks good. I put the same tires on my previous H2 and they were great in everything! Had a couple 12" + snow storms and it was fun taking it out when everyone else is stayin inside They are very quiet for the performance.

Re: A quick ride on the beach.
Thanks. You are right. These tires are very quiet. I am anticipating the fisrt snow to see how they are. They are a little "looser feel" than the BFG A/T that came off, but I gave them a few more psi and they feel great on the road.
