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?

also in the interest of full disclosure i am putting pro comp 16 x 8 with 4" backspace as wheels on my jk 2007 unlimited 4 door.

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 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

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 Duratracs and love them. |
