I need some advice. I recently purchased a jeep wrangler sport and I wanted to upgrade my wheels and tires. I am looking for a good all terrain tire. What are your suggestions?

Another good "All Terrian Tire" would be the BFG All-Terrian T/A KO

I'm not the OP, but I'm looking to replace my stock Duelers with something more aggressive but also still handles rain and snow well and doesn't sound or ride too awful. I've narrowed it down to these 2 hybrid tires. Does anyone have any pros or cons towards either? Seems like the Duratrac is a real favorite. I kinda like the looks of the MT Baja ATZ though.

Another vote in for Duratracs, they've been great. Just like a large chunk of Jeepers on here I thought 33's would suffice and a couple thousand miles later I'm in the market for 35's.

Duratracs will be better in heavy rain. I live in FL so can't tell you about the snow. We only get it every 20-30 years.

I vote for the Nitto Terra Grappler...they look awesome, have been great in the rain so far this summer, they are very affordable for a highly rated tire and they wear very well.

Based on personal experience, both are good in the rain. I ran 33" MTZs on my '08 JK and 33" Duratracs on my '94 Toyota Hilux. Can't say much for snow as I have no experience in that terrain, but the Duratracs did get some good reviews (google search) in the snow...

All of those are great choices. I'd add the Pro Comp Xtreme AT, Toyo AT and Dick Cepek FC II to the list also.
