So this is really just a bunch of opinions here. I guarantee no one has run more than two different brands of tires in the same size on the same rig. Lets be honest here. All your gonna get is people saying my buddy ran these or i heard these tires are good....so its really gonna depend on your budget and what you will be using them for. IMO and thats all it is is an opinion. Why buy Duratracs if you can get BFG MT's for the same price. Duratracs look kind of pussy to me. Nitto's wear really fast, i have never seen a truck or jeep running nitto's and have decent tread on them. They burn out quickly. I heard and this is what i heard keep in mind that MTR's burn through rubber quick also but they are the tits when it comes to off road and performance but are more pricey. You will also here guys say "oh my tires are so quiet on the road" to that i say who cares. If you bought a jeep wrangler for it to be comfortable and quiet then you purchased the wrong vehicle. Wranglers are meant to be loud, ride rough, and have two doors..not four. So to the OP it really depends on what you can spend and what you will be using them for........ just my $0.02 good luck!

If you were unsure prior to this posting about which tire is the "best", then I can assure you that this thread will make things worse. My Jeep is a DD which almost never hits a trail so I needed a tire that held decent traction on wet roads and one which was winter rated so I didn't have to swap rubbers twice a year. I also wanted an aggressive look to them so for those reasons I went with Duratracs. I'm on my second set now over a 3 year period and I wouldn't run anything else.

I have run GY Wrangler MT, BF Goodrich AT's and just bought my Jeep with Nitto Trails. All 35's. Other than the noise on the highway. I am liking the Nitto's so far.

I am anxiously waiting the release of the new BF Goodrich AT's KO/2 tho. Gonna wait and see what the experts say once they start trying them. Check em out.

Toyo Open Country MTs. 40k miles and 19/32 tread left. They're getting loud but that's something I can deal with. I will buy them again.
