    King Off-Road Shock Coilover 2.5 with Resi in the front. King Off-Road Shocks 2.5 with Resi's for the rears, Rear Spring TSB, KMC XD Enduros 16x8, Black Vinyl Fenders, Bed compartment locks, Cobra 19 DX IV with Lil Wil mag mount antenna, CoverKing Seat covers front and rear, Built Right UCAs, Aluminess Expedition Bumper, GY Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar 265/75-16, Custom hybrid style rock sliders.

    I know someone with about 35k+ with plenty of tread left. I hear that Grabber AT2s get close to 60k and is a good all around tire. Looks like a BFG All Terrain but only about 140 each.

    ^^^This.

    Most The all terrain Duratrac will outperform most of the MTs in snow (not super deep snow, the kind we generally see on the road). The MTs do not generally have siping which will greatly aid snow and ice traction.

    Actually considering the MTZs after these KM2s go. But that won't be for a long time.

    Looking forward to your review of them. Are they for the street or trail use only?

    My Duratracs have done well for me off road, and they are awesome in snow and ice. I haven't run KM2's personally but I have heard they pretty much suck on packed snow/ice.

    I guess it depends on how much winter driving you will be doing, and what type of offroad driving you will be doing. If you are just driving on regular ol' run-of-the-mill dirt roads, I'm sure the Duratracs will be more than sufficient for most of your driving.

    If you are planning on doing a ton of serious crawling over sharp rock ledges and mudding in axle-deep slop, you might be better off with the KM's. I have wheeled some pretty gnarly terrain with my Duratracs and they have never been a limitation.

    KM2's have performed better than any other tire that I've seen out there on the trails (I haven't gone wheeling with anyone that has had the Goodyear MTR w/ Kevlar).

    I didn't even know you had them. :laugh: I was mainly talking about how good they are in mud and how well they clear.
