Default Tires---duratracs or general grabber

I am working on building up my wife's jk. She doesn't want huge and we are looking at 33's for her. I would do 35's like mine but what do I know.
So she is looking at the GY duratracs 33x12.5x15 or general grabbers or at2. Same size. Any comments one way or another?

I ran a set of 33" Duratracs on my JK and was very pleased. Probably 80% tread left after 20k miles, and great on snow, sand, dry, rain and ice. I was so leased I bought them again when I moved up to 35's.

I have MT/R's on mine, but If I were to go to a milder tire I like the duratracs, they still have a good look for a less aggressive tire.

That is what I thought too. The only place that I got to talk to about them was Discount here in Town and it was nearly unanimous to stay away from them. Although not a single person could say why, which made me think it was more a price versus margin issue for the shop itself.

I have the General AT2's. They run quiet, good on dirt, not so good in snow.
They seem to wear well. I have 11,000 miles on them with little sign of wear.
The 32's are actually 31.5".
Thinking of going to Duratrac 33's.

Presently run Duratracs on my 10A, but had AT2s on my Land Rover discovery. They both do very well in the winter, the AT2's are much cheaper to buy, but I prefer the Duratracs for the more aggressive look that suites the Wrangler very well...

Run 35" Duratracs in winter and love them.... Great in snow and nice aggressive look for an AT Also great Offroad
NOTE: they run small so I bet you could get away with a 35" instead of the 33"
