I'm for Duratrac too, just have them on less than a week, but had them in snow, rain and dry already. They have been amazing so far.

4 sure! Have approx. 3500mi. on my 33" Duratrac's & can't believe how well they perform. Starting/stopping is great! Do have tendency to slide just a little on the packed stuff, but what aggressive tire doesn't? Have had 3 sets of BFG A/T KO's in the past & IMHO these outperform! Only downfall is sidewall, not as stiff but ride awesome. I run mine @ 28psi.

I have a set of Duratracs now and thats all I plan on running for a long time. Excellent in all conditions and quieter than just about any MT or AT

I would like to vote for my Toyo MT's, but it wouldn't really be fair because I haven't tried the others yet....but I do like my Toyo's. They could be better on icey hardpack though, but mine are not siped. I think I might try getting them siped with my next set. It apparently makes a fairly big difference with traction....and the tire also supposedly lasts longer.

That is also a hell of a list to be choosing from. All of these listed are very reputable.

Try one set of each over the life of your JK
