4Runner doesnt like the street, it stays with Swampers. :victory:

These tires have the snowflake symbol. I don't doubt they will work good in the snow.
I have no experience with this tire, other than looking at it today as I waited for my Yokohamas to be mounted.

Any more experience with this tire? Are the side walls a legitimate concern? I am trying to decide between these tires, new MTR, and Maxxis Bighorn.

Coworker bought them, took his tacoma on a logging road and some mild crawling and the sidewall folded and popped the bead.
He took them back and got the kevlar MTR's which I told him to get in the first place.
When you see the Duratrac's in person, just take your fingers and squeeze the sidewalls. You'll see what I mean. Butter soft and very thin.

Update on the Duratracs.
I was wrong about the sidewalls being paper thin since I only compared them in the store and not actually mounted.
Friend of mine bought a set and we compared on the road/trails.
MTR Kevlar's are definitely more robust and are much better suited as a rock tire.
The Duratrac's are quiet on the road and have impressed him and me with it's ability to clear mud and grip on rocks.
The C load range appears to be a good one for a 31" tire.
