They are sister tires both made by the same parent company. Very similar tread and rubber compound. Either should perform the same, just pick the one you like look of more. You cant pick wrong.

Duratracs if you live in snow country
The Duratracs are snow rated with the montain snow flake badge. Very few off road tires are.
I went through the same analysis and my thoughts were if I lived in Texas or Florida where winter weater is not an issue I would get the Goodrich KM2 or All Terrain but since I live in Colorado I wanted a snow rated tire and the Duratrac was the winner.
It is quiet, gas mileage is the same as the Goodyear SRA that went off. I went with 285-70-17. Snow and ice traction is unbelievable. With frequent trips into the mountains to go skiing I got to the point where I trust them so much I don't even check road conditions. Just get in the Jeep and GO.
Get the Duratracs you will never regret it.

All three are from the same maker. When I was looking, I found the duratrac and TSR's in-stock with the TSR's being about $400 less than the duratrac's so I gave them a shot. Worked as well as my previous duratrac's in the Cleveland snow this year. Dealer did mention that he thought the TSR's and attitudes don't have Kevlar, but the duratrac's might.

Unfortunately, according to my local Goodyear tire shop, the DuraTracs do not have any Kevlar.
Side note on Kevlar: It provides lots of strength for very little weight, but only in tension. In other words, it doesn't stretch. It can resist blunt punctures quite well when woven tightly, but it can be cut very easily by anything with a sharp edge sliding against it.

Don't bother buying anything but the DuraTracs they are the best tire I have ever had on any vehicle ever...even put them on my wife's liberty and she loves them and living in Toledo Ohio we get lots of snow and we wheel whenever we can I have the stock mud terrains on my 2013 Rubicon but I have the 35" MTR'S on custom wheels waiting to be installed only because the Duratracs does not come in a 35 or I would have bought them for my new Rubi

These are the exact two tires I had narrowed my search for 35" tires down to!!
Last week, I had to finally choose... I finally went with the Duratrac's. I believe they will perform better overall. I don't think I was able to find a single bad review of them... They go on next week after I get my lift installed, I hope they perform as well as people say!
