I have had my Duratracs for almost 3 years now and mounted on 2 vehicles. I have about 20k miles on them and they are still around 80% tread(I've been told theyre only 40k tires!). I have been pretty rough on them and I've only seen minor chunking. I have been lazy and have not rotated them even once and haven't been the best about tire pressure and they wear very evenly. They don't self clean mud very well but the still grip very nicely.

 

hey man, I'm swamped at work today or I would type out the reviews that JP magazine did on all of these tires....

but anyway, they did a write up on 37 different tires and the three you are considering as well as the falken wildpeak are featured .... March 2012 issue of JP Magazine - "THE HOT SHEET" - check it out for a decent read.

 

Was this the article you were talking about? http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...d/viewall.html

When reading about the Duratrac's, that is the second place I have heard about a weak sidewall. From my understanding however, I had thought it was more than a 2 ply sidewall? You guys had any problems with the sidewalls?

 

Nope.. Cut the sidewalls on somethin sharp last summer, took good chunks out and made complete 360* cuts all on sidewalls. Still good to go.

 

i loved my bfg at's. on road and off. Snow they were great. Mud was as expected for a AT. Duratracs will out perform them off road but for highway i would go bfg's.

 

I had a set of 31 x 10.50s on my cj and they were the best tire I ever had on them. Ps we are xj twins.

 

I love mine, they hooked up good on icy roads, and so far have been awesome offroad. yesterday I even side walled up a boulder and they didn't tear so I'm happy!

 

i vote duratrac
a fellow xjer i know runs them and keep up with me an my 33 m/ts
i had the at kos on my zr2 and was not impressed. the peanut pattern they share with the grabbers needs a lot of wheel spin to clear out. i.e. they pack up quick and become slicks.
also if you keep a constant/ correct tire pressure you won't have much issue with uneven wear or cupping

 

Duratrac is a great tire. They wear nice and clean when you need them to

 

Chilipepper FTW! Its looking good man...You need to start a build thread with some photos

So question, anybody here ordered from DiscountTireDirect? If so, what was your experience?


So if I were to get these,I would most likely order them from DiscountTireDirect

 

Oh cool - I noticed these when Crappy Tire put them on sale. I like the look of them but couldn't find too much in the way of reviews. Is that actually miles or KM? And at 10.5 are you running those on the stock rims?

 

Yup! That's the one! I wouldn't worry about the sidewalls on those though unless you're going to be doing hardcore wheeling on razor sharp rocks.
