Dont get duratracts if you want to wheel a lot in the rocks. they are a great DD tire and occaiosional off roader. Get the KM2s, MTRs with kevlar, or Toyos IMO.

I 2nd this choice, tho I've never had them. I hear great reviews and the tread design has good lateral grip for rock climbing, not to mention tough as nails. I'm scared to out them on my DD? To aggressive? Naaaa

I've never run the mtrs but the old style on my friends rigs seemed to wear out pretty quick.

It's hard balancing terrain wants versus daily driver long tread life.

Man, throw in practicality and I should just trade the JK in on a civic.

LOL, maybe I should just spin the bottle! I guess the rock performance will be the deciding factor.
