From BFG KM2 to Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac

My buddy's Jeep Rubicon had the KM2 and were horribly loud, and wore down very quickly after the first 10K.

These Duratracs are far tougher than base model Wranglers and are a far smoother ride.

I think it'll be my next set for my truck.

Anyone hear any horror stories about these Duratracs?

I have had Duratracs on the last two F150s and they are good tires and last a long time. They do well in the rain, snow, mud, and sand. The sidewalls are a little soft. More flex than I expected. I was able to damage a set by squeezing threw a downed tree that had been cut for a jeep. I was able to get threw, but scratched the side walls. They bubbled(broken cords).

I have since moved to Toyo Open Country RTs and I am very happy with them.

I hope this helps.

I had the Open Country on my 03 Screw, but they absolutely absorbed every nail screw and metal shrapnel they could find. I plugged those tires 7 times. Wimpy. I cannot go back to them.

I know these standard Wranglers aren't good in rain or slush, which is what Michigan is made of. So that is driving my next purchase.

I'm going back to BF Goodrich after a few years rolling on the DuraTracs.

I actually have the opposite problem. Have Duratracs on my new 2015 F150. Absolutely fantastic tire in the snow, but I can't keep them balanced. Time for a new tire
