Default Opinion on Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac?

Anyone have these & have good or bad things to say about them? I am considering purchasing a set for my 98 XJ, just put a 3" lift & am looking at getting some 31" tires.

I like mine. just my opinion though. Work really well for a DD and trail rig. Don't like sand. Read the link and didn't see if anyone had tried them on rocks. Might have missed it though.

great tires, set of 4 mounted balanced for $460, can't beat the price and traction that comes with them. 8,000 miles, at 40 psi. next to no wear and rotated at 5k miles and as noisy as a BFG T/A KO. gravel roads it shines, and in rain, and wet grass it spins, but pulls through. tryed some mud the other day, like super glue. rocks, its like 40 grit sand paper.

just my 2 cents

Had some on my last XJ. Great tire! Good in the snow, rain and dirt. Did not do any rocks with them. I would recommend them!
