My jk has the same size and they still look brand new after 7k miles. They look a lot like more square mud grappler but a lot quieter and cheaper. I love them. I just wish they had 37s.

I have the 35in Duratracs (325/65 18) Good Luck finding them. GY isnt making them again until 2013. For 95% road driving I would not get this tire. I would look at an agressive AT tire like the Terra Grapplers. The Duratracs are horrible on wet pavement.

Nitto Terra's
I'd recommend Nitto Terra Grapplers for what you want to do. They are great on the road, little to no noise, and still have a decently agressive look. They also wear good and Nitto's are the easiest tires to balance. I ran them for years on my '07 that saw 90% pavement. I have Nitto Trail's on my new Jeep because I wanted something more aggressive and I'm wheelin more now. They are great too, but they are louder than the Terra's - not horrible, but definately a difference and it doesn't sound like you need that type of tread.

My friend has 31" BFG ATs and he follows us(35" Trail Grapplers) almost everywhere. They also have 45k on them with plenty of tread left. For an AT they are tough.. he's roasted the sidewalls on rocks without leaving a mark.
Granted, they don't look at cool as an mt but its a reasonable choice.

Other than that, I LOVE the duratracks.
