    Haha...not doing it...can't make me!
    My vote goes to the KO's, I have no experience with the Duratracs but the KO's have proven themselves and they drive great on the road! Pay attention to photo's from sponsored expeditions and professional rigs and you will start to see a familiar tread pattern. I think either way your going to get a great product.

    Duratracs! They look great and perform even better from what i've heard! Plus there like a A/T meets M/T....can't go wrong with that IMO :)

    I voted Duratracs. I have BFG A/Ts and I can't say anything bad about them. But I think my next set will be Duratracs for looks and to see if they improve my sand traction any.

    i'd stay away from mt's if you don't need them... not sure why someone would suggest them.

    i've had great luck with the bfg's a/t off roading - i'd strongly disagree with this guy.

    it seems the gy's have gotten better - 10 years ago i'd never consider that brand - all my experience with them were junk... maybe they got this on right.

    I don't think you could go wrong with either! I may be shallow, but at this point, I would go for what ever looked better on your truck and what kind of deal you can get on them. Once again, you can't go wrong with either!!!

    From my perspective you should be very happy and have a very good looking rig!

    BFG's they are aggressive and are quiet they are imho the better tire of the two, and they last FOR- EVER

    Hey man give Mark at Calistreets.com a call (951 509 4772). He is in Riverside and sold me a set of Duratracs for $649, 10 Ply to boot. They are some good guys over there and just about as good a price as I could find.

    Im right there with you. I thought I was all set on the Duratracs, but I worry about them wearing off quickly. I drive about 25000mi a year. The KO's have long life. Ive never been so indecisive about tires ever! This is just silly for me too.

    i don't have personal experience with BFG ATs, but have heard they do not like mud very well. i can tell you from experience that the Duratracs will suprise the hell out of you in the gooey stuff. super quiet ride also. with the $100 Tread Lightly rebate it was a no brainer for me. anxious to see how they perform this winter, as my main reason for purchasing them was for snow season. BFG KMs are on summer duty.
