Nitro Turd Grapplers, had them on an 01 Ram 1500 with a 4 inch lift. Tires wore like hell and two of them developed an actual crack and I replaced all 4 with a set of silent armors, those were my favorite set I had on that ol goat. Texas mud and clay stood no chance.

I used to live in Brookshire. Yes that wonderful red clay gummed up my K5 when my Dad had it, he was running 44in Mud Boggers. I was so little and young then.

I am also going with the ThornBirds. Those tires are terrible in everything.

Every one seems to like them so please explain. I had walmarts version of the duratrack it was the wrangler authority and they were freakin amazing even in the mud with just 20psi in them. I could drag the axles thru swampy mud with no issues. Did ok in the sand but as soon as the sand got damp they dug like hell. Only other bad thing was I had to rebalance them every 3000 miles when I rotated my tires.

I used to argue this with OD all the time. I recently went wheeling with two guys that both have duratracs. An xj on 33's and a 1/2 ton Chevy on 35's. The xj had two torn sidewalls and the Chevy had one. My MT/R's killed them in every terrain we came across. Duratracs are awesome street tires if you are looking for something aggressive. Just don't expect them to last in the woods.

I know this is gonna start a fight, but BFG A/T. My buddy had them on his xj and on his f250. Worst tire in snow and mud I've ever seen. I hear they are great in the desert though. I've got old style mt/r's and I was going places in 2wd that he couldn't get through in 4wd.
