Tire Recommendations?
So I'm starting to look into upgrading to an all terrain tire from the tires on my stock '13 Freedom Edition with 3.73s. The eventual plan is to do an AEV 2.5" and tires on the stock wheels. I'm thinking of doing 33" tires just because to me the 2.5" lift looks best that way. I originally wanted to do 35" tires, but it seems like between the 2.5" and the stock wheels it'd be a bit of a stretch. In all honesty most of my time is spent on the highway commuting. A buddy of mine has Duratracs and I really like the look of them, but I don't know how they perform. Do you guys have any other suggestions?

There really isn't much of a difference in 35's or 33's on stock wheels- typically both of them are the same width- height plays no factor in that equation.
Height plays into how much bumpstop you'll be adding for the taller tires (regardless of lift height).
To your question though- duratracs seem to do well most everywhere. You could try a light variant of the tire and go with the fierce attitude or the kelly safari tsr. If you're looking for a tire to last as long as the duratrac then the bfg all terrain may be for you....though it won't perform as well as the duratrac when you get into the mud and such.
