I'm debating on Duratracs or BFG's. I'm looking for size 33x12.5R15. I want aggressive looking tires, which the Duratracs are. I also would love to save a little money and use it on other Jeep parts, so BFG +1. Duratracs seems to have better treads, which will be useful since I live in Wisconsin and face snow yearly, +1 Duratrac.

Anyone able to help me decide? Anyone have personal experience with both? Let me know. Who knew I could lose sleep to tires, gosh.

 

I ran some BFG AT KOs on my TJ. Didn't do a whole lot of wheeling in the TJ, but they had decent enough road manners, and were pretty decent in the East coast snow we got out there. I've got Duratracs on my JK, and I love them. Done plenty of wheeling in everything from snow, sand, mud, rocks, and whatever else so-cal has had to offer, and they've always done great for me. Great even wear too. I've got just over 30,000 miles on them so far. I've done 5-tire rotation at every oil change and currently all four tires are at 12/32 tread depth. Plenty of mileage left on these things. I'm actually a little disappointed in that regard only because I can't go to 37s until these wear out according to the wife. Might have to stop rotating them or something.

My vote is for the Duratracs.

Oh, and you're probably already aware, but the Duratracs can be studded if you choose to do so for the snow you're talking about dealing with.

 

Duratracs. They are aggressive looking, quiet, handle well off and on the highway. Best of all they are awesome in the snow. Only negative I've found is they don't handle mud all that great but I don't play in the mud that often.

 

I had BFG AT TA KO's and switched to 33x12.50 Duratrac's on 15X8 Level 8 Trackers. The Duratracs are better all around IMHO, especially in rain and snow.

 

Duratracs it is ! Thanks
