Default Need help choosing tires

I was looking at the Goodyear DuraTrac, but don't know anything about them. Does anyone run them ? My other choice is BFG AT's, but I know they are good.

i personally don't like goodyears. over-priced, and not that great.

if you want a mud tire, take a look at the maxxis bighorn radial. i've had a set of those for about 3 months and really like them. they're not the cheapest, but cheaper than a lot of others. mine were 850 out the door.

Probably too aggressive for you but Swamper SSR's have made me happy. Sry don't know much about the other ones.

I don't think all MT tires are like the mudkings, but most MT"S have a hummm and these sound like they are wobbeling going down the road lol.

What do you plan on using the tires for? Mud riding? Rock Crawling? Soccer Momming? Bootlegging?

Om my 04 ram I had TSL iroks looked cool way to noisy and didn't last long, then I put BFG AT's on they were a great tire. I have good year silent armor tires now WOW they are a good tire unbelievable in the snow quiet and aggressive. Out of all 3 that I have had i would buy the good yeard again

General AT2. $160 for a 33x12.5. I run them on anything that doesn't race. Silent on the highway and they don't wear out like crappy BFG AT's. Also they have good traction in weather unlike most BFG products. On my race vehicles I run the General Red labels.
