I took advantage of the sale yesterday and ordered (5) 17" VenomRex 602's!! I have not been able to locate any pictures of a performance blue raptor with bronze wheels but in my head it looks good. I am new to the forum so I haven't located a "build thread" yet. If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks TimmyP! I couldn’t find any yesterday looking through that post. I definitely need to set aside a few hours to go through it I guess. You’ve saved me the hassle with your pictures though - thanks!! Looks awesome!

I've got black 17" 602s in route. Thinking about Duratracs for my 99% street driven truck but hearing mixed reviews.

I'm keeping my 2019 factory beadlocks and mounted stock tires as spares. So many wheels, so little time. LOL

Duratracs are great for snow, so that’ll be a benefit for you. But they don’t wear as well on these trucks when compared to something like a Jeep due to the added weight. They also aren’t the best tires for summer driving on blacktop as they don’t wear as well on hot highways. Although, not sure what kind of temperatures you have in the warmer months in MD. Heat is more of an issue for us here in TX :)

had duratracs on my gen1 for 41K miles they were great and I am local to you. It is really the best all around tire. I rotated them every 4-5k and they wore really well. I still had easily 8K left when I removed them when I sold my truck as the new owner wanted new tires.

I am all for trying new tires but in the truck application world, most tires are super heavy and E-rated. Duratracs are D-rated and one the lightest 35" tire you can buy.

My only complaint is as they wear, they do get louder BUT then most truck tires get louder as they wear.

Thanks Nick, mid-90s here frequently during the Summer
