they're all basically the same. Get whichever is cheapest. Advance Adapters, PORC, Rugged Ridge, etc.

Thanks for the reply. Only had them about a week, but I luv them. Super meaty for an A/T and pretty darn quiet on the highway. Sweet-a$$ tread pattern. I can do stuff in the snow in 2wd what my old tires wouldn't do in 4wd.

Wow. Nice to see people are digging them more than ******* them.
I want mud terrains but just can't justify it on a rig that's going to see more asphalt than dirt.

Duratracs are freaking sweet 
I ran the 33x12.5x15s on my 3" for a month til she rolled twice. Rain, snow, pavement, dirt, grass...they work. I didn't get to mud in them, but I've heard good things there, too. I was doing 65 on an unplowed highway while i was home in Cleveland, and I saw other trucks (pickups and off-road vehicles) pulled over. I had no problem.
