GoodYear Wrangler dura trac

[Big Red Monster]

so Im going to need tires prolly by winter, Im between the BFGOODRICH all terrain or the goodyear Wrangler Dura Trac. which tires you guys think will look better on my truck along with perform better? the size i will be going with is 285/70/R17 seeing as Im told 305/70/R17 will rub at the stock height. I also dont want to have to re-calibrate my speedometer and change the gearing.

do the TC and spacer and get the bigger tires. haha but i like the duratracs personaly. they are what you would call, "winter tires". the only thing i dont like about the bfgs in the snow and wet is the lack or water channels. sipping is good, but water channels rnt that good.

 

[jacks3am]

I think the BFG's will do better in snow for sure

 

[tsingson]

Are those your own only options? I just picked up a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers and have used them in the snow and they work great....Just my 2 cents....

I like My Pro Comp X AT but I know guys that run Mickey ATZ all winter and love them
You don't have to gear unless you go over 35" and even then I don't think Walnuts did it?
As for speedo it's not off by much for slightly bigger or if do go big get an Edge fixes the problem and it a fun toy!!

dont know if you've seen them but if I had a closer to stock size tire... I would go with the General Tire, Grabber AT2... its a cheap BFG AT and they are awesome

 

[Big Red Monster]

yea i saw the general grabber im kinda leaning more towards the wranglers though, procomp cost too much and i have heard alot of bad about nitto tires. One of the things i like more about the goodyear wranglers are the sidewall design. im sticking with the wranglers or bfgs mainly cause of the price, pricing is very similar on the two, just trying to find out which has a better value like for traction and how long they last.

Isn't the duratrac only sold by Walmart??? either way you go you will be happy..

you should check out discounttiredirect.com for tire prices nitto is less than both good year and bfg

 

[Soldier777]

If price is your driving point why not just get retreads?

 

[jacks3am]

coopers?

I've got a set of Definity Dakota AT on my truck. They are only sold through Pepboys but are made by Cooper. I love them and they are a real bargain. No complaints from me.

 

[walnuts4x4]

well if choice is duratracs or BFGs... I'm gonna say go with the greatest tire ever... BFG

no your thinking about those cheap ass walmart good year tires. those suck in the dirt and on the road. hear nothing but bad things from them. but the next tires i think i would have gotten were the good years. but in a few weeks if that deal for the bfgs im gonna go get them.

If your close wait till Bloomsburg and get a good deal on tires there....at least I though the prices where good. Thats where I basically built my truck

 

[Big Red Monster]

hell no to retreads, i like the design of the wranglers by me most tire shops carry them, Im only going to go with one of two tires either the wranglers or the all terrains, around here in chicago nitto cooper and general tire are not that popular and if you want them they will order them but it costs alot more then, reason i dont want to order offline is im going to have a tire shop test fit the widest tire possible for my truck and go from their, i want wide but i dont want them to rub

 

[jacks3am]

Bfg's please!

 

[Remo]

285/70/17 is probably the widest you can go without rubbing if you are using those stock wheels, no lift, and no trimming.

 

[Big Red Monster]

prolly gonna go with the BFGs then lol, yea thats what ive heard that 285 is as wide as i can go, I have seen some guys fit 315s though idk if they trimmed or not tho

 

[Big Red Monster]

i saw a set of wrangler dura tracs on an expedition at work today......yea Im definetly getting those tires they look badass on my truck even with the stock rim

hahahaha no offense but bfg's get shredded by the rocks out here i ran them and i like em in the sand etc. but wranglers are the shurest bet to get home if you play in rocks/boulders like we do. my buddy got a set of those general grabbers or whatever they are i gotta ask to find out for sure but its generals mud terrains and he seems impressed so far. but i am thinkin bout nitto terra grapplers for my expy cause i have two broncos now so all the expy will really be seeing is rain snow ice etc
