OK I need help. I can't make up my dern mind on tires. :(
So I'm about to get some black 15x8 MB72 rims and I can't figure out what tire to get. My JK is my DD and I will do some off roading but not much. I hunt in the fall/winter so I'll be doing some off roading during that time for hunting purposes. Anyway here is what I have kind of narrowed it down too. I'm just looking for an AT tire that is good both on and off road. I don't really want a MT due to the fact that this is my DD. Oh, I'm not running any lift so take that into account. What will give me the best AT look and best on and off road performance??
I'll be getting 31/10.5/15s.
I'm looking at these right now.
Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10
General Grabber AT2
Cooper Discoverer S/T
Maybe the Goodyear DuraTracs, but I'm not sure on the road noise and how long they would last with quite a bit of on road driving.
Or any others that you would recommend??? Thanks!!!!!

Hankook is a great tire, I'm running bfg's but I've had hankook before and they were great
Generals don't know much about
Duratrac is discontinued and replaced with MTR Kevlar

With the size youre looking at: I'll be getting 31/10.5/15s; recommend you go to discount tire website and read the reviews. I find them helpful.
Noticed the BF Goodrich AT comes in that size. The Coopers are good tires but havent owned them so cant speak from experience.

I've been very happy with mine. 6k miles on them so far, and I've used them in dry conditions, mud, rain and snow. Fine DD, not noisy. As long as you don't get in over your head in mud or snow, seems to do well there too. That said, I have been stuck twice.
h ttp://www.dickcepek.com/tires.php and select "view specs" under the FC-II
They do make a 31 x 10.50 R15

Take a look at Nitto Terra and Nitto Trail Grapplers. The Trail Grapplers are a little more aggressive but look good and I really like em' they ride real nice on the road. the Terra Grapplers are a little more tame and from what I've heard are real nice on the road.

This is incorrect...not sure how you came to this conclusion. The MTR Kevlar repalced the old style MTR (an MT), which is now discontinued. The Duratrac is a relatively new tire (AT/MT hybird), and what I currently run in 315/75R16.
I love the Duratrac: super quiet on road performance, with really good road manners, and great all weather traction. They have done fantastic in deep snow, mud, wet, rocks....basically anything I've thrown at them. Only two real complaints: 1) The 35's are a load E, and don't flex exceptionally well at ~12 psi with that stiff of a carcass, and 2) They don't come in 37's!

Thanks for all the info guys.
So, will 15x8 MB 72 rims (black) with 31/10.5/15 Goodyear DuraTracs look good??????? I haven't seen a picture of this set-up so just trying to picture it in my mind. Again, I have no lift.
And JK-Ford, I see you are in Cabot. I'm in Little Rock! Nice to see another arkie.
