Icon5 Treadepot Tires

Anybody buy from this place? I found 265-75-16 C Duratracs for $164 each. Its $745 shipped with out road hazard. Should I purchase road hazard for the extra $79 to cover all four tires?

WRANGLER DURATRAC

That's what I'd be doing. I'd also keep an eye out for a matching wheel and then keep it rotated in with your set. That way you have a full size spare and your set of tires will last that much longer!

Go for it man. The duratracs were flawless in the snowstorm we just had. Drove through 3 ft snowdrifts with ease.

Just find a local tire shop that price matches and bring the ad In. Install should be cheaper then and the tire shop will rotate and balance for free for the life of the tires. That's what I've done

I wouldn't bother buying road hazard from an online only company, or a company that's not in your area. Most of the time if something goes wrong they make you ship the tire back, which costs quite a bit. You'd be better off just buying a new tire if it couldn't be fixed.
