Anybody run these for a daily driver? I want American made, and the Duratracs are pretty well loved, but I wonder how they would look on a stock height / no lift/level?

These Trailrunners appear to be pretty new (in the big picture) and I don't see many reviews on them yet.

What say the collective ?

What my tire industry eyeballs see in that picture:
Tight tread design with an open shoulder

What I would expect as a result:
Excellent wet and dry traction
Tread packing with any kind of loose or wet material (snow or mud) rendering it largely useless
Resistant to irregular wear in all but the shoulder areas, regular rotations will take care of that
Quiet

In summary:
If they are compounded correctly, it should be a quiet long wearing tire, with excellent wet and dry traction. They are not designed for and will not function satisfactorily in deep snow, mud or other loose materials.

For a suburban use vehicle south of the snow belt they should be good tires.

They rated #2 in the last Consumer Reports AT tire test. Having owned 3 of the top 6 tires on their list I found their ratings appropriate so I'd expect the Trailrunner to be a good street and light off-road tire as described above.
