I bought a set of the dura tracs in february and fell in love them instantly. I tried to slide around a corner with an inch of ice covered in 6 inches of snow in 2 wheel drive. They didn't slide one bit! I play in a lot of mud and haven't been stuck yet. You do hear a small howl going down the road, but it's not bad. I have a 6 inch lift and run the 33s on stock 373s. Mine is a DD as well, and I haven't had any issues yet... With tires anyway. If something wasn't wrong with it, I would be worried lol.

It would be worth regearing if thats something you want to do. I pulled mine out of a grand but swapped out the cv's. You will love these tires, but if the mtrs come in a 32 and thats the size you want go for it. I've heard nothing but good about them off road. Not sure for a daily though. I know when I was looking, the mtrs were a little more pricey. so, depending on your at cost, can you do the upgrade with the dura tracs for about the price of the mtrs?

If you like them both equally, go with the tire you can get the best deal on. Guarantee it will be the Duratrac. They rape you wherever you buy those Good Year Kevlars.
