Two tires are both in the "best" category @Discount Tire , in the 35x12.5x17 size that I'm wanting the Ultra Terrain is about $50 less. The Ultra Terrain are exclusively available at Discount Tire so maybe that's why they are less, they also don't list a specific mile warranty whereas the Duratrac has a 50k warranty. I actually like the sidewall blocks on the Ultra Terrain a bit better and the inner tread block design look like it may provide a quieter ride.
The siping on the Ultra Terrain look to be straight which would be cheaper to manufacture vs. the wavy siping on the Duratracs.
Here's a good read on various tread design tire info including siping.

If the Ultra Terrain has the same tread warranty and performance then it is going to the top of my list.
@CarbonSteel has some Kanati Trail Hogs which are 3 peak snow rated and look to have a similar tread, and about $100 less than the Ultra Terrain so looking at them too depending on my budget 12k miles from now

Anyone running these Ultra Terrains around here???
