Another vote for the duratracs, initially had 31s, put 25k on them and then upgraded to 33s. Love them in the snow which is important to worry about here in michigan. Super quiet on the highway, everything I needed.

Has anyone one had experience with both the duratracs and the bfg all terrain K/O? I'm undecided about the two, which of the two are more fuel consumption friendly and better in snow?

I got these at Disco tire. I am super happy with them. Desert, sand and snow all good so far. Would not be your choice for super rocky terrain. Too tame of tread.

Excellent on the highway of course.

I have owned and used both and I prefer the duratrac. I find that the duratrac has great traction on slick rock, snow, gravel and wet asphalt; overall a great tire. I run 33x12.50R15s on my jku, they are worth a try.

Sorry, I hit 'send' before I was done. The fuel economy I find is better with the duratrac (less slippage on slick terrain), and the duratrac snow traction is great!

The Goodyear Duratracs have been an awesome tire! I use them as a daily driver, no noise at all..... Also great on sand,mud and snow!

How about a comparison of Baja ATZ, and the Duratracs? Anyone have experience with these two? Snow performance and fuel economy are my primary concerns.

Thanks for the info! Was looking to bump up to 33's when it's time to replace my tires.

Just had my 33'' duratrac's mounted last night. Changed from the stock sahara tires. The duratrac's are a fantastic improvement; a million times better than the stockers. We just had 1' of snow and cold temps; everything is just that much easier with the duratracs...and they look bad-ass.

Default Nitto Trail Grapplers

Running Nitto Trail Grapplers 275/75/r18....very tuff/mean looking tire. I was impressed with how quiet this tire is compared to other tires in this class. I wouldn't go any bigger without regearing tho.
