Gotcha. I didn't even look further into those at that site due to them not being in stock.

Treaddepot shows free shipping on Toyo tires for me?

I think they are also a supporting vendor.

The biggest thing is the weight of all the 35s and what keeps me looking at the Duratracs.

I have been looking at the

Goodyear Duratracs ~ 60lbs $302
Toyo AT2s ~ 70lbs $292
Toyo RTs ~ 75lbs $333
Nitto Exo Grappler ~ 72.75lbs(per Nitto) $314
BFG KO2 ~ 68lbs $330ish

I know some people really like the 3 ply sidewall which adds the weight.

I looked long and hard at the Duratracs, but I wanted a 10 ply tire.

Why, I can understand 3 ply sidewall but not the need for an E rated on a JK.

Is there a tire with a 3 ply sidewall that is not E rated? I need 3 ply sidewalls as wheeling for me is sharp rocks and sharp sticks.

Yes, but not many. Off hand the original KOs in 315/70r17 is D rated with 3 ply and also the Dick Cepek Fun County.

If you do lots of sharp rock the new KO2 look very promising for tread wear in that environment.

Country life... I live on gravel roads. After trying many tires, an E rated tire will always be on my JK.

Just got my wheels, now looking for tires, these seem like a good choice, any idea when newer sizes are coming, like possibly a 33"?
