I'd go with the BFG AT as well. Great tire.

 

i personally dont like many of those choices... the bridgestones have a tendency to get un even wear, and the silent armors are heavy and wear quickly on wranglers, but if i had to choose, id go with the BFG. I had them on my old jeep (liberty) and they were awesome tires, they took everything i could throw at them EXCEPT mud, they didnt like corn fields too much and tended to get gunked up quick and not release the mud. NEVER PUT A FALKEN WILDPEAK/ROCKY MOUNTAIN ON A WRANGLER!!!!!!! I cannot stress that enough, youll pay a decent chunk of change for them and all youll be left with is bare tread blocks. no offense to people who run them and "love" them, but you obivously dont do much highway driving or off roading, sorry for the bluntness. THEY ARE SHITTTTTTT! im a tech at discount tire, i see them come in every day on trucks and jeeps for rotations and they just flat out didnt hold up. they chunk, they get uneven wear, they wear down to ONLY tread blocks (no grooves left in the tire for wet stopping) never buy them. go with a BFG or spend the money on a Michelin LTX MS2 if you dont plan on doing a bunch of wheeling. best of luck, sorry for the rant

 

Ok, from some of your other posts, it looks like you've got a Sahara with 18" rims. That changes what's available slightly from what might fit other JKs with 16" or 17" rims. I've been very happy with my Goodyear Duratracs, but for an 18" rim they're only available in load range "E". That means they have much stiffer sidewalls. Not a problem if you've got a lot of armor and whatnot weighing you down. But if you've got a fairly stock jeep, it'll bounce you around more than you're used to.

As for what JeepSkate is saying about Falken Wildpeaks, I know a few guys who've got them on JKs. Some have over 30,000 miles on them (mostly highway) and do a decent bit of trail riding. Keep the pressures right, rotate them regularly, and they hold up just fine. They're not the best AT tire, but probably one of the best for someone who does mostly street driving. They're not available in the exact stock size, but you can get them in P265/65R18. While that's just a fraction of an inch smaller than what your Duelers were when new, it'll be taller than what they are now. Oh, and the Wildpeaks weigh 44lbs, compared to the stock tire weight of 42lbs.

And while I'm nitpicking on what JeepSkate is complaining about, the Goodyear Silent Armor weigh just a touch over 45lbs in the stock size for your Sahara. Extra weight does count more when it's unsprung mass, but 3lbs isn't very much. I only know one person with them on their JK, but they've got over 40,000 miles on them and figure they'll get at least another 10,000 out of them. Again, proper pressure and regular rotations are the key to longevity.

So I'd suggest that you take a close look at both the Falken Wildpeak A/T and the Goodyear Silent Armor. What would be best is if you find some people local to you with those tires mounted who can take you for a ride so you can get some firsthand experience. Barring that, call up the people at Discount Tire Direct or Tire Rack and see what they have to say. And, of course, keep an ear out for what the denizens of the forums can tell you about those tires.

 

Thank Krynn, talked to tire rack and they are very high on the BFG AT, say for my usage which would be about 95% on road they would be the best bet, I do have to say I really like the Revo 2.

 

Ran the BFG AT for years on other trucks. Good for all around use but not very good in mud. If you do use them in mud, dont plan on going in anything major. They will certainly work in the mud better then a street tread obviously. Trails, camping, sand and snow, you'll be fine and happy.

 

Ok thanks.

 

I am going with the Revo 2's. getting them this week, thanks

 

I've been running Revo 2's for about.... 30K miles now. 265/70-18's. (vs stock 255/70-18)

Likes:

- They ride more compliant than the stock tires, even at a full 35psi. I used to run the stock Bridgestones at 34psi.
- They're nice and quiet.
- I think they look decent. A 'touch' more aggressive looking than stock tires.
- They are soft and grippy, but wear very well. I've only lost a mm or two in 30K.
- No complaints in the rain. Handle standing water good in my book.

Dislikes:
- Not that great in snow. Stock tires were better.
- They don't seem to roll quiet as efficiently as the stock tires. This could be a difference between worn out stockers, and the larger 265 size tires now (4lbs heavier per wheel).
- I've had odd shimmies and shakes and have had to have one wheel rebalanced. Every now and then I still get some random phantom vibes on the highway that make me think things are still out of balance. This could be the fault of the shop I used. Not sure.

 

I have the Silent Armors. They have the mountain snowflake performance rating for snow, and I of-road a lot with them. They are holding up well, wearing evenly, handle well on the road, and are dead quiet.

 

Look at the Cooper ATP's at Discount Tire. Great reviews and price, and my wife loves them on her DD.
