Have you Considered the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar? Sidewall strength on a taller tire is a big factor both in the rocks, and in on road stability. If the only two options are the mickey thompsons and the duratracs... definately go with the duratracs.

Because offroading is not one of my priorities. Compared to putting gas in the tank at least. I've got extended links though, they're not tough to undo. I was just not expecting anything like this.

I've driven on them... I don't like them, on or off road. They wander too much on road and they don't clean out for crap offroad. Just my opinion.

That's interesting... I disagree completely. But to each his own I guess.

they were on a K5 blazer actually... with a mildly built small block. They may seem like a killer tire to someone who has never wheeled before... but the second you put something else on to compare them too... it's over.
