Default Duratrac 33x12.5/15 experiences

Okay so I know there are thousands of threads out there talking about these tires but I just wanted to try and get some solid experiences from people before I finally made my purchase.
It's either those or a set of BFG AT KO, but I'd much rather get the GYs

I'm hoping some of you guys could give me on/ off road reviews and maybe general performance and gas mileage. I think the only thing holding me back now is that someone said that had a 3 MPG drop and even though people say it all the time that I shouldn't care about MPG I'd rather not be filling up every 3 days.

I have an 08 Sahara 4dr and get around 17.5 mpg now, really hoping to stay around that area if I can haha

I actually have a set of these tires in my basement that I just pulled off because I got a great deal in some 35's. They are great tires ( quiet for all terrain, smooth, handle well and I was very impressed with off road traction). If your interested I'm wanting $600.00 for 5 about 70% tread. And I didn't notice a drop in mileage.

I have these on my 2010 JKU. On road and off road I love them. I lost about 2 mpg between factory tires and these.

I bought them a year ago have half thread left 25000 miles later. Good tire but run them at 33 psi and rotate every 4000 miles . I have 33 x 12.5 on 10 inch wide 15 black rock rims . And you will be getting ball joints soon with the wide tires . So buy synergy ball joints heavy duty 200 for all 4
