Default Need some suggestions on All Terrain Tires

I'm looking for my next set of tires, now I have factory rubi's on aftermarket 17x8" wheels.

I'm looking for an all terrain in the 34" range and have found a few, let me know what you think about them and if you have another suggestion please give me that too!

Nitto Dune Grapplers:

I like Nittos,but not the Dune Grapplers. I'd do the Terra Grapplers instead.

I'll second the GY Duratrac. I have heard alot of good things about them. For an AT they are pretty aggressive which for me would be good.

I would stay away from the dune grapplers. My brother has them on his 93 ranger that is running 302 swap and 3/4 ton axles. He does ok in the bad lands but once in forest to mud terrain they clog and are about worthless. I ran the BFG AT on my 92 Explorer before I bought the jk and they handled everything well but mud and the first few minutes of ran.

I had General Grabber AT2's for 50,000 miles, and they still had >10k left. They were great in everything but thick mud.
I had BFG TA/KO's on my Ranger 4x4, and they lasted 70,000 miles, with the same great performance. (Moab/Ouray proven)
The difference is cost.

Duratracs.
As far as I know they do not offer 34's yet, only 33's and 35's, but hands down they have treated me very very well. Plenty of threads on here about them.

Right after I got mine mounted.

Duratracs! The dune grappler would not work in the mud or snow! A good choice also is the BFG, but I owned both and the duratracs are WAYY better.

Default awesome thanks for the suggestions!

Some more information taht might help:

No snow here... not since 1983 anyway=]

I put about 30,000 highway miles on/year and drive probably 3,000-5,000 on varying offroad surfaces (not really rockcrawling more or less going to fishing holes, campsites, hunting blinds, beach cruising, etc...)
