I think since my ride is my daily driver and see a lot of pavement that the duratracs may be the way to go. However, how do the duraTracs perform in the mud? Where I am at we can have anything from:

- Red Clay in which you don't sink much, but you will slide and your tires have got to clear to keep any traction.

- Silty mud in which you can sink

- Softer/fatter clay that will really stick to ya.

Would the Fierce Attitudes be a bit of a compromise to get better mud performance?

What if I threw the Mickey Thompson MTZ in the mix? Appears to have a 3 ply sidewall, reputable company, not as heavy as the Nitto trail grapplers as their website states approx. wt. 68lbs.

Anybody familiar with running these.....wear, noise, etc.?

Got some pricing on the MT MTZ and I think it's a little more than what I want to pay. I've read a bunch of good reviews on the duratracs and I know they will be great for everyday driving. but I'm not sure how they will handle the mud. So I'm kind of leaning towards the fierce attitude mt or the nitto trail grapplers. Will the heavier weight of the nitto trail grapplers really make that big of difference?

How about the Goodyear MT/R with Kevlar?

Out of those 3 I'd go Duratrac for my vehicle.

Another I'd consider that I hear good things about that's similarly rated to the Duratrac is the Cooper STT. I'd also look at the Cooper ST Maxx. A dude was telling me how awesome they were but I've not personally went and read reviews on them.

I'd forget about the Trail Grapplers. Not a fan of those anymore.
