    I had a set of those bridgestones and while they were quiet and rode nice, they didn’t last long.

    One of these 3 might be good . They are good looking and not real heavy

    I love my duratracs, they perform great, look good and wear like iron. Currently have 34k on them with over half tread remaining.

    Can they take a beating? Plan on mainly going on logging roads and maybe the occasional fire road. Im impressed by the durability of the KO2s and they seem like a solid daily tire but I want a tire that can handle some mud so I think I'll go with the duratracs

    I just installed a set of Falken Rubitrecks on my 15 sport model. Have about 1000 miles on them, quiet on dry pavement great in the rain. Haven’t had them off road or in the snow yet and cheaper than the Wildpeaks.

    The rubitreks really interest me because they’re supposed to be a bit better on-road than the wildpeaks but it looks like they have a more aggressive sidewall than the wildpeaks.

    I've heard plenty of good things about falken wildpeaks, haven't heard of the rubitrecks before, but i don't like the fact that they're 4ply, im worried that I'm gonna end up popping them because I'm gonna be going up some pretty rough roads once I get my new upper control arms and shocks installe

    I guess I'll rep the Cooper ST Maxx. They handle mud quite well, and perform as good as, if not better than, any other AT on pavement.

    Yeah they will, I had them in 315’s before on a Jeep that was used off-road pretty frequently. They worked well and held up great.

    Seconded. I'm eying my third pair personally. The only downside is I wish they came in a C-load LT tire, not just E. They're heavy but will get you through damn near anything. Handled the Utah sand, rock, and snow for 5 years without fail.

    I went with some E rated duratracs in 265/75/16, haven't taken them offroad yet but they drive decently on pavement

    Hopefully they preform well for you. I just replaced mine and my thoughts were:

    Rubber is way to soft for off pavement driving. Lugs were literally chunking off.

    Quiter initially than my previous at’s for the first couple thousand miles but became excessively loud after that.

    Decent traction off-road. Cake in mud really bad. As long as you stay on the skinny pedal, keep momentum and halfway know how to wheel you’ll be fine.

    Okay in snow and slush. Not good on compact snow.

    Low mileage life. Got 28k out of mine.

    Massive vibes. Balanced, balanced and rebalanced and balanced again. Never rode smooth.

    Lightweight.

    Even staying stock size mpg took a 1.5 hit from previous at’s.

    E load rating should last forever! I have C load rating and they wear like iron.

    Wow I thought lightweight would help mpg. I’ll probably get duratracs next, they look mint. These coopers should last a long time since I only put like 6k miles / year on it tho . ‘09 with 80k . Smiles per gallon

    My initial thought too. Previous at’s I was able to squeak 21.5 semi regularly on long trips. With the coops highest I got was 20.3. I think you’ll be happy with them. Overall they are a decent tire. They just don’t hold up to the environment I run around in.
