I haven't had any slippage with Nitto Trail Grapplers. My stock Rubicon tires were terrible in rain, felt like I was on ice.

Good year Duratracs on my work truck are amazing on and off road on all conditions. Will be on my jeep as soon as it needs tires.

The new GY MTRs w Kevlar have been as good as any tire I've ever had in the rain.

I have Dura Tracs and have been very happy on the road as well as some light wheeling. They did well in the mud and sandy conditions. I think they are a great all around tire. They are sized up to about 35in I think.

Duratrac's work very well. I've had them on rain, snow and ice on pavement and off pavement I've had them in rocks, snow, ice (on the lake) and mud. I have not been disappointed yet. Well I wish I could get them in a bigger size. That's my only disappointment.

Right, I plan to run them 37, so they are not an option
