I will pull the trigger in the next 2 weeks on one of these two tires.

I know these are both Good Year products. My rig is a 2010 JKU Sahara. New rims are M/T Classic III (17x9 w/4.5BS) in black.

What are the pros/cons of each? Stiffness, weight, durability, mud traction, highway manners, etc.

Any input/opinions are welcome (especially if from personal experience).

 

Im 40k miles deep into my duratracs with frequent rotations and they still look great a lot of tread left. I have zero complaints in terms of performance. These tires float on the sand and blast throught the snow. On rocks there are better tires im sure but these will do just fine for more moderate stuff. On the highway they are pretty quiet with little to no road noise. i have also not had any balancing issues. My only complaint is that they dont make a true 35 or 37. Im running 315/70r/17 now and they measure a bit above 34" unmounted and about 33.5" mounted. If they made a 37 I would buy them for my next set but im going with something different just o try something different. Also I have heard guys complining that they have weak sidewalls. That may or may not be the case but they are holding up just fine for me. All around excellent tire you wont regret having them. As far as the fierce no experience but for my next set I am deciding on those and trailgrapplers

 

I have the Duratracs with 10k on them. They are great in rain, sand, on rocks, no experience in snow yet. They are great on the street, low noise, and wear very well. I don't have any experience with the other ones.

 

I've got 50k on my Duratracs and they were just measured at 9/32 tread depth. I do a 5-tire rotation on every 5k oil change.

Excellent all-around tire. I've been in a little of everything (sand, snow, mud, rocks) and they've performed admirably.

I've never been stuck and never had a flat. I did pick up a screw in the tread (twice; argh!), but no flats.

My only complaint is that the ride is a bit stiff because mine are load range D.
