Tires look great! I got rid of the stock "good for a year" wrangler RTS tires last October and got a set of the Bridgestone Dueler Revo 2 tires...LT 265s. Night and day difference between the wranglers and the revos in the deep snow. We only had 3 really snowy days last winter (over 8" each time), but the Revo tires performed well. Wish discount tire would have had the duratracks when I was shopping last year. Mine bite into the snow great, but your tread look real nice (picture Eddie from Christmas vacation saying "real nice" for full effect)

Cool!!

Just also got my 285 Duratacs mounted an hour ago....look just simply AWESOME.

Just perfect size from the 265.

Ready for the white stuff now! What pressure is best for mileage, comfort and wear? 38-40psi?

Although my Suburban has the 6.0 motor i am going with the 265's. i learned a lesson with the H3 not to Over-Tire a vehicle again.

I'm on the North Side of Milwaukee. As you know here in Wisconsin we can get our fair share of snow. The last couple years have been pretty heavy with snow. I'm sure this year with these fancy new tires we wont get any... :-)
