Default Goodyear Duratrac vs. General Grabber AT2

It's time for new tires I have narrowed it down to 2 choices the Goodyear Duratracs in 285/70 r17 or the General Grabber AT2's in a 33x12.50 r17. Can I get some suggestions on which ones I should go with? I am going to be running these on stock JK 17's with 1.25" spacers for now until I get new wheels.

Personally, I like the duratracs. They seem to have a more aggressive side wall. Plus they're snow rated.
They're high on my list for tires when my current shoes wear out.

Can't speak for the Generals, but I have the Duratracs in that size and so far really like them. Nice on road ride, and not any louder than my stock BFG's.

I had a set of Grabber AT2's on my Liberty when I traded it in. There were great tires and you can't beat the price of them. They're also rated for 60,000 miles! On the other hand, I've read nothing but good things about Duratracs.

I'm probably still a year away from wearing down my stock BFGs to the point I can justify tires, but I've already done all the research and have decided on the Duratracs, primarily because of their performance in the snow. I drive in the snow a lot more than I do in the mud, sand, or rocks so that was important to me.
