I should note my JK is pretty heavy as well, front/rear full bumpers, armour, 4x 4g fuel, 37's, carrier, etc... find it sticks on the road when slippery quite a bit better but its the devil traversing muskeg. Basically like extra sand bags
Seems we are finding weight is more of a determining factor.

I'm relatively lite...no armor, Bushwackers and JCR Dagger rear bumper.

I'll bet if I was loaded with armor, Jerry cans, full bumpers, winch, steel flares etc. it would have a definite effect with 200-400 lbs additional.

going from the bone stock rubicon mt-r, to the duratac's with a 2.5 inch lift and increasing size to 33's, I found the duratrac's to be much more stable, of course it is easy to get the back loose if thats what you wanted. At the time i still had arb skid plates a winch and front skid plate, so a little extra weight.

Now i have front and rear steel bumpers, and until reading this thread didn't think anything of the extra weight helping with traction, but I was just thinking, the other day, how much these drive better than mtr's on the snow and ice covered roads.

This thread is pure Jeep forum gold. It's the typical Whatever I have is awesome, Whatever someone else has "doesn't seem very good and I don't get the hype" wrapped in a "I tested it myself" veil of credibility. These are a dime a dozen on these type of fan forums. They definitely are funny when they turn into full-on pissing matches.

1. Learn how to form and write a sentence.
2. Never use the word "bro" again. It's a typical toolbag word (but we gathered that about you from your responses)
3. Take some anger management classes killer...we are only discussing tires.
