No experience with the Duratracs here. I'm sure they're great. I had 2 sets of BFG AT's on my old TJ & they never let me down. I considered the Duratracs for my JKU after hearing so many good reviews but I wanted to run a wide 33 & the Duratracs weren't available in that size for a 17" wheel. I ended up sticking with what I know & got the BFG AT's in a 305/65/17 & I love them. They're quiet, look great, & so far have held up well the couple of times I've had them off road in the Alabama clay mud.

I have run both tires. The duratracs blow the BFGs away in rougher terrain and snow. The BFGs are an excellent tire for a mild wheeler, but the duratracs can go anywhere!

EDIT: I truly speak from experience. Ran the AT KO and now Duratracs.

I have not run Duratracs, and I probably wont until they come out with a 35x12.5R15 tire. I dont get a lot of snow wheeling in So Cal, but I have been in some snow with KO's. They were fine. KM's scared me In all honesty, I would probably choose another AT tire like the DC FCII, Tera Grapplers, or those Falcons that have been working out pretty well for WOL.

I'm sure they'll be good, serviceable tires, but I really wanted Duratracs. Sorry Goodyear...work out that supply-chain issue and maybe we'll hookup in about 40k miles or so.
And duratracs are not in 37s!!! But BFG KO in a 37!!!!!!!!

Duratrac! I'll be putting mine on soon. You'll be hard pressed to find many bad reviews on this tire.
