Default Anybody regret getting Duratracs?

Thinking of buying new tires, Right now my 2013 JKUR is on stock mud terrains, This is my Daily Driver and honestly offroad once a month or so if lucky. The mud tires look so good, ie..KM2, MTZ, etc.. but I keep reading about Duratracs, I really only trail in sand and mud, it's a Florida thing. Does anyone regret getting Duratracs and not a "real" mud tire? There are cheaper to boot, but still not sure.

Duratracs will not clear mud as well as a real MT. But for general all-terrain use, they are awesome. Sand and snow they are super. Highway they are plenty quiet. Great, all-purpose tire, as long as you can live with less than top-of-class mud performance.

Almost 30k miles later and I still love mine! No louder than new and they look more aggressive than any other AT out there. Also, when I was researching, they were about the lightest tire out there as well. My 35's weigh as much as some 33's. No regrets!

I love my duratracs! Although I've had them less than 1k miles
Its 20lbs lighter than a nitto trail grappler in the same size

I've regretted every Goodyear purchase I have ever made. Truck or SUV? Nitto. Car? Michelin.

Haven't even had mine a week yet but I like them. I dropped 2 mpg from stock 17" wheels and tires with my Level 8 Trackers and 33x12.5x15 Duratracs but I'm OK with that. They look great and are very quiet on the road for an aggressive AT.

Buy 'em. You'll never look back.

No and no. Had them in 265s and now in 315s. Both great in snow and everything else. My 265/70/17s (only 4) are for sale, Only 11k on them, msg me if you're interested.

Sand they will be great, on road they can't be beat, but in that Florida mud you may wish you had more if a MT. Everything is a trade off.
