goodyear duratrac or dunlop fierce attitude????? please help
 
I am thinking about getting tires. 305 70 16's. I am torn between the goodyear and the dunlop. I am getting unreal prices on both. As I understand it they are comparable to a 33 1250? I am looking for opinions on which tire to go with. Goodyear seems like the better tire all around but the dunlop seems to be a little more aggressive. however they are discontinuing the dunlop so that scares me a little bit. thoughts? if anyone has similiar pictures of these tires on jk's that would help. interested to hear your guys thoughts?

Love my duratracs! Quieter than my stock rubi tires, amazing in snow and ice, great in mud, aggressive look, good in rain.... I can keep going.

These are almost the same tire. Fierce uses the Duratrac hull. Its a Dunlop which is owned by Goodyear. So do you want an AT or MT? Simple as that. :yup:
I run the MT Fierce and happy with them so far. :rock:

was talking to a regional vp here in PA at goodyear and was told that the dunlop fierce attitudes are being discontinued this year. Just passing info along.

I was taking a hard look at the dura trac because they have the kevlar in them. Yeah I was not sure if the duratrac is considered a all terrain, was told that it is kind of a hybrid between an all terrain and a med tire. Any truth to that? Is the tread on the dunlop that much more aggressive? I only ask because they are 25 dollars cheaper a tire.

I have over 30,000 miles om my Duratrac's and love them. Great for everything I have driven through and very quiet on the pavement.

I just got my fierce attitudes, i find it weird that Dunlop is discontinuing them, discount tire only recently started carrying them

Duratracs do not have Kevlar in them. The MTRs do.

I have Duratracs and love them.
