I have these on my Silverado and just ordered them for the new Titan. Amazing tires!

Excellent tire in the snow, great traction in other conditions. Aggressive looking tire, but not loud on the road/highway, rides smooth, managed about 45k miles from my first set. probably could have gotten close to 60k if I would have rotated them properly.

What size tire? might not have one in that size, but probably one close. If it is a 275/70/18 they fit fine
No need to give up yet. There aren't any exact size replacements, but there are some 18" that are very close in size.
Stock size diameter
265/70-18 32.6
Optional sizes
275/65-18 32.1 half inch smaller diameter
275/70-18 33.1 half inch larger diameter
285/65-18 32.6 same diameter but a little wider.
These are all close enough in size that the difference in speedometer indicated speed, odometer accuracy, etc. would be negligible. There is often this much variation in size between two different brands of the same size tire.
So, if you want to try this tire, you certainly can!
********** EDIT!!!!
I just noticed you have the Pro-4X. I thought it had 275/70-18 from the factory? If so, then there is a direct size replacement. I just checked TireRack.com and input a 2017 Titan Pro-4X and it didn't list the Duratrac as a replacement tire, but there is in fact one of the same size. It might be that the oem is a P rated (passenger), and the Duratrac is an LT (Light Truck) .

Yes the Pro4x is a 275/70/18. Yes the Duratrac comes in a 275/70/18. Yes they are the same size. Yes the 275/70/18 will fit just fine (on any Titan running an 18" wheel, yes even the one's that came with the 265/70/18), without any modification.

I called my local Goodyear dealer and beat them up until they matched the tire rack price.
I was at 300/tire including the mount and balancing. I talked to the guy and said "I can't believe I can order tires online and have them shipped for cheaper than what you guys can do. That just doesn't seem right and I'd like to give you my business."
It took a while but they found the tires and the deal was done.
The counter guy goes "we don't sell many of these, what do you do with your truck?"
I said "pretty much anything I want".
I think mine went on in 2007 right before a meet and are still on. The sidewalls look like they've been on a truck for 10 years now and may be starting to dry rot. I really like these tires and haven't had any issues with them. I didn't rotate on a normal schedule so I may not get the full life out of them but at this point I don't feel like they owe me anything either.
Another member bought a set on my recommendation and hated them. He was used to a firmer street tire so he kept breaking loose upon acceleration... He's know to be quite spirited when pressing the go pedal though..

I ordered mine through Sams club, cheapest I could find, but they wouldn't mount them since they weren't OEM size. took them to another place to have them mounted and balanced.

I do have them... :devil:
I had my truck up at the cabin yesterday and there’s a solid 4 to 5” base of snow up there right now, I never had to put in 4 wheel drive till I got hung up on a log. I have about 21k on this set of duratracs and wouldn’t hesitate to drop the cash on another set (even though I bought these with 5k on them for $600). I will agree they aren’t for drag racing, but I’ve had them in deep in mud and snow and haven’t been close to being stuck yet. After owning a titan for 10 years now, it’s the best tire I’ve had on one of these trucks.
