Yeah, yeah. I know, another “what tire should I choose” thread. I’m just looking for opinions on the two brands.
My decision has come down to the GY Duratracs and the Nitto Trail Grapplers.
JK background is this:
*Daily driver, driven ~70 miles round trip to work daily. I am taking each tire’s weight into account.
*I will be wheeling rocks/trails in Florida and along the east coast (mild rocks). I’m not a fan of mud, so it’s not a factor in my decision.
*I’ll be going with the 35” range on both
So with that said here are my perceived pros and cons.
GY DT’s
Pros: Seem to be the best AT tire for wheeling and street use.
Weight is ~15 pounds lighter per tire than the TG’s
Lots of siping for the wet roads here in FL, we get LOTS of rain.
Cons: I am worried about the strength of the tire/sidewalls when riding the trails and in the East Coast rocks. Biggest thing I'm worried about with these is STRENGTH!
I don’t know how well they would be aired down.
Nitto TG’s
Pros: Everyone seems to have great things to say about the TG’s.
Seems to be one of the best mid-range MT
I am assuming these would be a lot stronger than the DT’s
Cons: They weight ~15 pounds more than the DT’s.
Sooooo, IF you had MY driving situation and MY intended trail use, which one would you choose? Pick one!
Any thoughts?
Thanks’ for your opinions!
