Looks like a competitor to the K02. I'd like to know if it picks up less small stones and cleans out mud quicker.

Hopefully the sidewalls are stronger than the original Duratracs.

I think these are the ones I have, mine are new and I will attest that they are the best overall Offroad/onroad tire I have ever had. I have found them to be good in all conditions (except snow/ice as we don't have that down here in FL).

NO, there are not BFG KMs, and NO they are not aimed at 7++ trails, but up to that point, they are some of the best IMIO!!!

I run 32 PSI on the street in my JLR-X with 35x12:50 17x9.5 wheels <. NOTE that this is the recommended wheel size.

It looks more AT than RT compared to the other RT's

I'll definitely keep these in mind when it comes time to replace my current tires!

"... All-Around Toughness with a 3-ply a sidewall..."

For a serious rocker you'd want the LT version with Load Range 'E' rating.

Dunno if Discount Tire carries those. Scroll down for GoodYear size availability:

Nice looking tire. Yeah on the 3peaks winter. They are LT rated in my size. Only down side, very pricey.

How is it price Point wise compared to KO2, Faulken or GY Territory?

Wouldn't it be better though to have a load range C for better deformation, and just have a more durable sidewall as this suggests to make up for how much more pliant it is?

Discount Tire hasn't listed the 285/70 17 E on their site yet. I had a string of messages with them on the forum and they were able to get them for me. Cost was $334 each minus 5% for using their cc and minus 5% for military discount and $100 GY rebate. They were supposed to be installed today but the shipment got split and one tire didn't arrive. It's supposed to be in tomorrow and I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon for installation.

The tread looks pretty close to the old duratracs I had on a JK. The sidewall and construction are different. Also, I think there is more siping. It's supposed to snow tomorrow so hopefully I can have some fun with them.

The DuraTrac R/T is available in certain sizes and can be ordered in to your local Discount Tire location. I'll be happy to check availability if you would like. Shoot me a DM interested!

That I cannot answer because I did not compare them. I did like the KO2 and when I was searching the Duratrac popped up and being a old GY MTR guy way back and liked them, then reading thru the Druratrac data I jumped on it.

I am a GY/BFG buyer almost 100% of the time.
