The load rating is lower on the 315/70r17 Duratrac (3195#) than the 315/75r16 (3860#), so I could be wrong but maybe the 17 is only 2 ply?

It's load range d... Probably going to be 2 ply, but I'll call Goodyear tomorrow to verify.

I have these on my 06 DC Tundra with 265/75-16's ( my winter setup ) Just another option that I'd throw out there. I am happy with them.
That being said, when I retire my OEM 5 spokes, I'll be getting SCS F5's / Stealth's so you can;t go wrong.... love them.

Sean, Goodyear doesn't endorse online forum reps per se, but if you need any info on the Duratracs I can track it down for you. I work for them in the south. Shoot me a PM and I'll get you some information; if I don't have an answer, I'll call an engineer.
That being said...excellent build. I'm in the (long) process of a 1GR-FE/RA60F swap on my Tundra and your build has been great to follow for inspiration. These Tundra's don't get near enough attention. Keep on!

The 315/70r17 is load range D with 2 ply sidewall. God damnit Goodyear!

Nice! I saw on their website after looking at the ST MAXX that the STT PRO has a higher wet traction rating... interesting.
Still haven't ordered tires or wheels and am not sure what to do with either, but debate the options daily.
Not opposed to adding siping to any tire.

I had the ST Maxx on my tundy they did well in the dirt and light mud but overall i didn't care for them, they were loud and hard and sucked in the rain and snow for the most part. After almost wreaking due to loosing traction in the rain the next day went back to BFG KO with load range E. Its been a year and i still have the little new tire knobs on inside tread on all 4.

That's probably the first negative review I've read on their performance in rain and snow. Thanks for the input.

It seems that most people are happy with the STT, I'm sure the Pro will have similar reviews. I like the center tread section on the Pro it's very much like the Duratrac. Also they aren't super heavy for a mud tire. I just wish there were more reviews! They are too new.

That's what I think to, looking like a duratrac. Tire reviews are so up and down, I take all reviews with a grain of salt and buy tires from brands that have been around for a while.

Agreed. There are so many variables involved in tire reviews. Grain of salt for sure.

True. Since I have already run Duratracs and very much liked them, and am tired of researching tires- I'm going to get the set of 315/75r16 Duratracs (3 ply sidewalls) and run them on my current wheels. If I see the need to change it up in the future, I'll do so.
Still not a big fan of my wheels and the stormtrooper look, but it's time to replace these tires.
