I just got a set of 35 x 12.50 17 KO2's a few weeks ago and they ride great and are very quiet. I would highly recommend these for a daily driver, even my wife noticed how quiet they are and how much better the jeep rides!

Thanks, as for the suspension it's the new JKS JSpec 2 1/2" lift with a few other JKS goodies thrown in there. Between the new suspension and tires, the ride is soo much better than stock! Also, BFG currently is running a $70 rebate on the KO2's on a set of 4. I also thought about the duratracs, but I loved the look of the new BFG's and I wanted something different, glad I did!

My Duratrac's have 30K on them and it think I can get another 20K out of them. They are great on and off the road, I wheel once or twice a month so they've seen their fair share of dirt and still look really good. I've thought about going to a different tire when these run down but they have been such a great tire I may have to just get another set. No complaints at all....

One thing I've come to realize is that people are really enthusiastic about their DuraTracs. I never hear someone say they regret them. Any more KO2 fans out there ?

I have had both of these tires, and wasn't sure I should put the Duratrac's on when I did. I hind sight I am very glad I did. They are a much better tire all around. They are quieter on the street, and off road they are a lot better. Neither is a mud tire, but the Duratrac handles it much better. It also seem to grab a little better aired down in the rocks. I have never been a fan of Goodyear tires, but the Duratrac's I will buy again. They have been on for over a year, and about 25,000 miles. I do rotate all my tires every 5000 miles. Good luck with your choice.

I have been running the Duratrac's for over a year now in high colorado elevation and have not been happier. So far I have put about 15K miles on them and the wear patterns have been great. For me my JK is a daily driver and weekend warrior. I have taken it Moab and back a few times and pretty much every trail in between. I have driven in 3feet of snow, soaking wet downpours, muddy trails, and the highway. To me they aren't loud and do what I need them to do. If you go with them I would highly suggest doing a chalk test to get your tire pressure correct. I found for me 31-32 PSI works the best, any higher and the ride gets rough and harsh.
