Default Really Cannot decide!!!

Need help deciding between a BFG AT 275/70/17 or a Goodyear Duratrac 285/70/17. These will be going on a 08 stock 4 door sahara auto with the 17" moab wheels. Which will be best with the stock set up with no mods. I want to remain stock as well. Thanks for the help

It's really hard to beat the BFG AT's. They ride nice and will carry their weight off road as well. The Goodyears look more agressive but if it were me I would get the BFG's.

Id have to agree with Mike. Bfg's are hard to beat. In my experience they last long too.

If you're driving in snow and ice too then it would have to be the Duratracs..... But they're right they don't last as long as the bfg's

Yeah my brother had a set of BFG AT's on his old 95 lasted forever. I had a set of goodyear duratracs on my silverado I traded in for my JK and loved them. They ride so good and look so mean on there. Tough choice. And it depends on which size I get as well. The 275/70/17 is not offered on the duratrac..

Does anyone know of a web site where you can look at the tires for a side by side comparison?

I have the BFG KO's in 33's and love them. They are quiet on the highway, do a great job off-road, and I run them in the snow in Utah and have had no issues.

Largo, Is your rig stock? Do you have the 285/70/17 or 275/70/17 BFG AT??

Both are good, but I think the BFG's will last you longer.
