    I got some XD revolver rims black in the garage. Just need to find some tires for them. I like the looks of the Duratracs though they are pretty pricey. Grapplers are about the same $ ? It looks like they may be a bit more aggressive.


    What other tires with similar tread are people running that they like? Maybe something they wont put such a dent in the wallet. I do quite a bit of road driving so I dont need anything real aggressive. Any info or input helps! Thanks.

    Hankook Dynapro ATM (RF10) is a great AT that has good looks and is great on and off road.

    If you want more aggresive go with Grapplers. Nothing but good reviews.

    I have the Falken Wildpeak At's and I love them. Not sure that they're what you are looking for but just thought I'd throw my two cents in

    Your comparing apples to oranges. Duratracs are an all terrain while nittos are a m/t tire. At tire will be a better all round tire vs the m/t tire will perform the best offroad. Im personally not a fan of duratracs, for an a/t tire id want a Yokohama at. I ran trail grapplers for the last two summers and were a great m/t tire. I found they wore really fast.

    from what I have seen in pics the Duratracs look like they are pretty aggressive for an A/t. I like the look of them and the trail grapples looked similar to me, but I guess not.

    Probably looking for 265/70/17 or maybe the next size up. not sure what i can fit with the lift and rims with no rubbing

    I just picked up a set of the Hankook DynaPro ATMs from Discount Tire. Actually there in transit now. I got them for 129 each by having a price match with a web site called tirecrazy.com. Shipping included too. They were originally 152 on Discount's site. The lowest price for Duratracs that I could find was right at 190 each. I'm running 265/75-16.

    Kelly Safari TSRs are the closest I think. They're made by Goodyear just like the Duratracs. They were $45 a tire cheaper for me, and now I actually prefer the looks over the Duratracs. Same tread depth, very similar outside tread pattern, aggressive AT that's great in snow & ice.
