I've been going back and forth as to which tire to get for over a year and I always end up looking at the Duro's. Give us some future feedback as to your likes dislikes etc. I am really trying to decide between the Duros or Zillas.....

one thing about the duro's is they only had one size for 12" rims, atleast from what I saw

we will see how good they do when I go to the Hatfield MCcoy trails next month

was able to get out on saturday and put 26 miles on the new duros

was impressed with them, definately better than stock then my let down happened about 2 minutes from the truck at the end of the day, my right front tire hit a decent size rock which pinched my sidewall and I started loosing air .....yep 26 miles and one of my sidewalls has a split

called the company where I ordered them and need to take some pictures of the hole so they can determine if it will be warranty or not.

I had 5 1/2 to 6 pounds of air in the front.....not sure if I was to low or not but I will see how well duro and the company I ordered them from is going to stand behind the product

Your PSI sounds about right for a Sportsman. At most they'd call for 7 psi.

WOW what a bummer. You would think a 6 ply tire would hold up better. Hopefully you get a new one under a warranty....

Well that just blows. Hopefully it was just a fluke and not one of those, you get what you pay for deals. Hope the company gets it straightened out with you. Good luck and keep us posted on how the tires work out for you.
