for an a/t im very happy with my 35'' duratracs. they do very well in everything ive done with them, except for rocks. they are not sticky at all and dont have the traditional mud terrain blocking, so they just dont bite on rocks well.

they do really well in mud, great for trail riding, and VERY comfortable going down the road. virtually no noise at all.


i have no experience with any of the other tires you listed.

for an a/t i happily "endorse" duratracs.

I have been running 33" BFG at ko tires for about a year now and have around 8-10k miles on them. They have performed great on rocks, dirt, snow, and road. They did good for an a/t in the mud too. My only complaint is that the side walls are E-rated so they are very stiff on the road, while it does give piece of mind while offroading( these tires are really tough and I have never worried about cutting or popping them) they are also some of the most affordable tires in their segment.

My .02 cents

I got my terra grapplers when the wife was pregnant and I love them. They were smooth and quite. All around great tire. They are on the heavy side but can't complain. Will def buy again

Ok I am so thankful for all of you information. Out of the terra grapplers and the wildpeak tires, which one would you say is more aggressive?

Nitto trail grapplers are aggressive and they are are smooth on the rode. I wouldn't do terra grapplers. They are almost as bad as the SRA,s that come stock. If you won't consider the trail grapplers you should at least take a look at the dura tracs

I've run the bfg a/t on previous jeeps and always got good mpgs and they seemed to do great on light trails and snow. They are not very aggressive but a step up from a radial. Just my .02 cents. Good luck

Nobody has mentioned Firestone dueler ats. I ran them on my tj in snow ice and mud with no problems. In fact the only complaint I have is I can't seem to find them in anything bigger than 33s.
