im in the market for tires and im torn between a set of good year duratracs or another set of BFG all-terrains....im just looking for the opinions of those who have duratracs...thanks in advance...open to other tire suggesstions too

 

yea im currious to i need a new sets have a set of all seasons on it now lol had a nice set of wranglers on it they werent bad ether

 

I've had both... BFG All Terrains and Goodyear Duratracs. If I were to buy another set I'd go Duratracs hands down! I don't have any major complaints on the BFGs but I like the Duratracs much better. Much better traction in every condition (wet/snow/mud) and they look better too! The only thing I can't comment on is wear. The Duratracs look to be doing just fine but I don't have enough miles on them yet. The BFGs wear awesome! I had them on my truck until 60,000km and then they went on the XJ for another 20,000km or so and they're still have probably 60-70% tread life remaining.

Never had Duratracs, but I've heard people say good things about them. You still can't go wrong with BFG A/T's.

 

havent had either but i prefer the look of the duratrac better.... dont think you can go wrong either way

 

just curious how many miles do you have on your duratracs? im really leaning toward the goodyears

 

I've got about 25,000km on them now (~15,000 miles).

 

ok cool...i have to say im really leaning toward the duratracs...i want something a little more aggressive than the BFGs and you can never go wrong with goodyear

 

Exactly... go for them!

 

I can't live with that kind of commitment to my tires.

I have the Duratracs and would buy them again. The BFG all terrains have a very hard compound, the duratracs are a softer compound with more grip. I think that the Duratracs ride smoother too.

 

i think thats what im gonna go for

 

thats what i want to hear

 

i haven't had either tire, but my next tire will be one of those, i think im going to go with the duratracs because i'm thinking the bfg at won't be aggressive enough for me.

 

I have a feeling Duratracs are gonna replace BFG ATs as the forums "Go-To" all terrain. It seems like every month there is a "I need new tires" thread and the responses went from 70/30 BFGs to 70/30 Duratracs just over the summer.

I think that's fair anyway since the BFG KM2 is still are "Go-To" mud-terrain for the most part.

 

i think youre right haha

 

Go with the DuraTracs I Love mine!!!

 

im going to...ive heard nothing but positive things about them

 

Honestly the only complaints I've heard are to be expected:

A little louder due to more aggressive tread. But not as bad as mud terrains.

A little faster tread wear, also due to more aggressive tread

 

yea and the compound is just a little softer...but all those complaints are like you said to be expected...i think the duratrac is a happy medium between the bfg ats and the mud terrains

 

Duratracs are ordered and will be on the truck by the end of sunday!
