OK I'm going for new tires on Pintlers so these are the ones I'm looking at
1- Goodyear duratrac
2- Dunlop Rover M/T Maxx Traction
3- Kelly safari TSR
All in the 315/70/17 and I know all are made by the same company..Running mostly on highway and hunting trails and have to be good on snow and ice any other ones that you guys think would be good?
Also what about TPMS's should I put them in the new rims or run without?
any thoughts guys?
and thanks

 

IMO you've got the ranking right 1-2-3 as you listed them.

 

TPMS is your decision. I decided to keep mine when I upgraded and glad I did. I ended up having a slow leak on one of my tires because they didn't tighten the valve stem all the way when they mounted them. Am waiting for my flashpaq so I can set it a little lower though....

 

I like the goodyears they have an agressive look for a good street tire

 

I absolutely love my DuraTracs! Took me a couple weeks to decide on them as I compared so many dozens of tires, but very happy with my final choice.

 

Love my duratracs but would not put the TPMS back in. Ended up running 28 psi to get the ride I wanted and had to buy a procal to shut off TPMS. If you have a procal or performance programmer that you can change your tire size and TPMS threshold then TPMS install is ok. I could not run below 30-31 psi without getting a low tire pressure warning.

 

I think the GY Duratrac is the obvious choice, but I seen the Kelly Safari TSR's listed on Nextag.com for around $205 ea + shipping which is not bad considering its basically the same tire.

 

Well I went with the GY's here a couple pics...going to add some flat fenders to.

 

Thats nice looking jeep!

 

DuraTracs
They'll be replacing my ProComps prior to next winter!
