redwolf624 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 so it's tax time and that means tires in my family, i'm in between choosing the BFGoodrich All Terrain TA K/Os and the Goodyear Duratrac. I hoping to get some feedback out of duratracs and which one ya like better and why and where ya get it at cheapest, i will be running on 235/75R15 again due to gas mileage and slight rubbing, Thanks in advance,Redwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Of those two options I would get the BFG, primarily for the stronger sidewall. I have never run a duratrac, but have wheeled with folks who do. Any rock or tree sidewall contact usually resulted in a puncture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Warrior Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I can't say either puncture was a hard hit, but more of a wedge in a tight spot. Granted these were on a heavy JK. However, the relatively weak duratrac side wall is well documented online yet they are still a real popular tire among wheelers because of their strengths.

Dadinator Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Neither. Cooper discover at/3's got my vote. Twice. On the tj and mj. treaddepot.com good prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Neither. Cooper discover at/3's got my vote. Twice. On the tj and mj.I agree. However that isn't an option Redwolf is looking at. Find a used car lot or small tire shop who gets tires from Independent Tire Dealer. Absolute cheapest price I could find for my AT3's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 General Grabber AT/2's... Like I've said in the last few threads you made about tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexia Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Duratrac if you drive more on the road. They have ridiculously better wet traction than the BFG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscowell Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I don't have experience with either but from what I have read and people I know Duratracs are some of if not the best tires you can buy for your vehicle if you want a AT type tire. Their on road performance is phenomenal and offroad is decent. At least this is what I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I run duratracs on my z71, 60/40 gravel to highway. I've driven through our woods at work, across fields and ditches among other things. They have yet to let me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've said in the last few threads you made about tires. i've thought bout em, but nobody in the area has them in stock, they're all special order, tryin to get somethin the same day Duratrac if you drive more on the road. They have ridiculously better wet traction than the BFG. that's nice to know, i've been gettin a lot of wet weather in virginia beach lately and keep slidin at a stop light when it turns green, i do drive more on the road than i do on a trail I run duratracs on my z71, 60/40 gravel to highway. I've driven through our woods at work, across fields and ditches among other things. They have yet to let me down. sweet, how well do they do in thick mud?

SW86 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I've never heard of the separation deal. Mine have been doing well for the abuse I put them through on a daily basis. Plus several jeep buddies crawl with them and have had zero issues. It could just be a bad batch type deal. So far I've only been in deep mud once (almost frame deep) in this truck and they pulled out from a dead stop. Light mud is like its not even there.
