Default Similar tire to duratrac

Like the thread title explains, is there a tire that is similar to the Goodyear Duratrac? By similar I mean:

-aggressive tread for mud terrain
-snowflake symbol for winter driving

I'm asking because I hear a lot that the Duratrac has really thin sidewalls and all kinds of people are puncturing them with the littlest of things. I have not been lucky in the past year 3 punctures and a flat tire so this is kind of a small concern for me!

If I didn't have my duratracs I would run Micky Thompson MTZs.

The duratrac is an all season tire as well. It is not a mud terrain. Also, they should have pretty tough sidewalls in their E rated sizes.

The Duratracs aren't as fragile as you've been led to believe. I put 35k miles on a set with no punctures or other issues. Including terrain like this...

In certain sizes they do have the "snowflake"

If your Canadian take a look at Goodyear Wrangler Territory (at Canadian Tire). As far as I know it is Canadian tires version of the duratracs. I haven't seen many off road reviews but my father has them on a 2WD f150 and they work great in snow.

I just got Duratracs with E rated sidewall but really have done anything with them or had them long enough to give a review on them other then they look great.

Good luck.

I had a set of BFG At Ko on my truck and they had the snowflake symbol on them. They were great it the snow.
