Default 35" duratrac's or 35" general grabber red letter?

Ordering tires this week and want too know some opinions on these two tires. I hear the general grabber red letters are heavy? Is this true?
And I hear great things about the duratrac's.
Just want some opinions thanks!

The General's are very heavy. Tried them on my Raptor and you could really feel the weight. On a Jeep it would be more noticable. Dura's for sure.

My recommendation is Duratrac, they are great on rocks, mud, snow and wet pavement. Cant go wrong with those tires. Not heavy and not loud.

I believe that the Duratracs are manufactured in the C, D and E load range. I'm running the "E" on my rig. And they are heavy too. But that is the type of tire that I wanted to run. Probably overkill for the type of wheelin that I do.

Test the Grabbers and report back! I ordered a set 2 weeks ago.

I have yet to see then on a Jeep around here so I figured I'd try something unique.

My opinion is the same. This tire is a very versatile tire.
