Talking What to choose?? Kelly Safari TSR vs Fierce Attitude

Whats up Jk'ers? JK newbie here but not a Wrangler newbie Just got a brand, spankin' new 2011 Mango Tango and LOVE it! I'm waiting on my Rusty's 3.25 lift to come and I'm gonna run 315/75/16's on Pro Comp 7031 16x8's. I've pretty much narrowed down my choices on tires to the Kelly Safari TSR and the Fierce Attitudes. I can get Kelly's 220 ea. or Fierces for 228 ea. mounted and balanced at our local tire shop. My JK is gonna be mostly a DD but I'll wheel it occasionally. I just wanted a few opinions from you guys on what you would pick (especially members who have or are currently running either of these tires).

Default Fierce

That is what I am running now and I dont have complaints with the Fierce. They have a pretty slick looking design on sidewalls and the tread look pretty nice as well. They are quiet on the pavement and I am impressed with them off road as well.

Here is a pic they are the 265/75r16's so yours will be signifigantly bigger.

Started researching these after reading this post, same company makes them both, they are basically versions of the Duratrac. I like the attitude which the barbed wire design wasn't on it but oh well. The price sounds good.

Thanks for your input guys! I actually did some more research and as bad as I hate to take business away from our local guy, I found the Kelly's for 177 and the fierce's for 194 with free shipping and no taxes! I'd save about 200 bucks which is enough to add an adjustable front LC to my Rusty's lift.

Don't know much about the fierce tires. But I have the Kelly TSR and I'm very happy with them. There very quiet on the road and great in rain and snow. Haven't tried them on rocks yet.

One friend of mine has the fierce's. They run true to size and the tread is thick and deep. I like them.

I think I'm gonna go with the Kelly's this round because of the price and the tread warranty. I think that it's a killer deal...$1165 for 315's on 7031 Pro Comps! Thanks again for the suggestions...This forum and the members are awesome!

Where did you get that deal for 1165? Was it tires and wheels mounted and everything?

I have the TSR's and I have had them off road a couple of times and they worked great. I have about 10,000 miles on them and they still look good and are still pretty quiet.
