Default TIRES

Need some advice on tires. Looking to buy some 33x12.50 and gonna put them on 15x8 rims. I want a good all around tire that is a good ride on the street as well with light off roading. Problem is I like the mudd/agressive look but it is my daily driver and want comfort too. Any help or advise is appericated.

Goodyear Duratracs. No personal experience but if you search a little, since this is covered everywhere, youll find lots of reviews.

You cant go wrong with the duratracks i ran them they are really good. Right now i have the goodyear MTR kevlar and i have to say they are the best tire in my opinion. They arent too loud on the road and they are amazing offroad. I have had mine for almost 12k miles and they are defiantly worn down but not too badly they also get alot louder with age

x3 on the Duratracs! I'm on my second set and won't buy anything else. They are WAY better than any other tire I've ever ran in the snow. They are quiet on the road, release dirt/mud pretty well and last a nice long time if you take care of em. I've had BFG AT, Mickey Thompson MTZs, Firestone Winterforce, Hakkapellitas and they are all lame compared to the duratracs if you ask me. Only thing that came close was the BFG AT.

Duratracs are great for what you describe as your typical usage. I had a set and they were great on and off road.

It seems like a lot of people like the duratracs. heres a different opinion...

I'm running Falken Wild Peaks right now and they are awesome. they ride great on the street and dont make much noise, and also have great offroad traction and ride. They still have the aggressive look but ride smoother than a lot of other A/Ts
