I to wish they made them in 37 x 15 I would surely buy them again.

I've only had them for about 8-10k miles. But they look brand new. I'd be surprised if I didn't get at least 35-40k out of them at this rate.

I believe there are twice as many size choices with the BFGs then the Duratracs. Something else to concider

I am in the same boat. I am looking at the duratrac's, BFG rugged terrains, and the all terrains. No idea what to get here. Mostly a daily driver here but will be in the snow and sand from time to time. Keep the posts coming guys. Thanks

I love my 33x12.50r15 Duratracs, they are so quiet on the road and haven't failed me yet on some of the most difficult trails here in South Korea. One thing i will say is that when you get on the rocks you'll definitely get some "chips" out of them due to the softer compound..

Falken Wild Peaks have a 50,000 mile warranty and reviews say they are tougher than your other two options.

I drive MAYBE 200 miles off road a year(trails) and 10-15k on road. That's about 1.5-2% off road and I went with Trail Grapplers. I don't regret it one bit. Even though an at it probably fine for the dirt/rocks I run. They just look cool.

They are also one of the heaviest tires out there. Their 315/75-16 weighs 77lbs, their 285/75-16 weighs 64. That's huge!

Would definitely appreciate feedback. Thanks!!
Take a look at the Fierce Attitude M/Ts (Goodyear by product) they ride awesome and run on the cheaper side of the price point. also the handle nicly in mud, Sand and snow. I run some minor rock trails here and there and have yet to have a problem. The streat manners are very nice they have hardly any tread hum and they wear evenly I have had mine for about a year and have lost barely any tread on them and its a DD. About 9k on the highways this year.
