I haven't had any slippage with Nitto Trail Grapplers. My stock Rubicon tires were terrible in rain, felt like I was on ice.

Good year Duratracs on my work truck are amazing on and off road on all conditions. Will be on my jeep as soon as it needs tires.

I have Dura Tracs and have been very happy on the road as well as some light wheeling. They did well in the mud and sandy conditions. I think they are a great all around tire. They are sized up to about 35in I think.

Duratrac's work very well. I've had them on rain, snow and ice on pavement and off pavement I've had them in rocks, snow, ice (on the lake) and mud. I have not been disappointed yet. Well I wish I could get them in a bigger size. That's my only disappointment.

Right, I plan to run them 37, so they are not an option
