Default Toyo's are the better tire.

We had Duracraps previously. I never liked Goodyears but thought I'd give them a try. They did have 54k on them and still had tread left. They were very noisy and had no traction though.
These are quiet and have traction in everything. 50k mile warranty too. Click image for larger version

If you're saying that Duratracs are noisy and have no traction, you never ran them. I had 285-70-17th Duratracs, and now I'm running 315-70-17. Great on road and off road tire.

I was dead set on duratracs but my salesman talked me into the toyo oc at 2's. Based on the forsaking the Goodyear LT rating for the less harsh R of the toyo's. The AT2 was a good looking tire as well. Saved me a small amount of coin. 65,000 life expectancy. I drive most all of my miles on road with most of those at highway speeds. My rubi came with mud t's and the AT's are smoother and quieter. They ran well all winter. They are great in the rain. I'm happy. If I wasn't I was going right back to the shop for a swap to Goodyear. I'm 5,000 miles into them and haven't looked back. Size was 285/70 R 17 with no lift or rubbing on road. AEV pintlers push them out nicely

Toyo has a 45 day 500 mile satisfaction guarantee. You don't like them return for full refund including mounting balancing labor etc. Nobody else does that.
