I've really been trying to find a new set of tires for my jeep and I'm having a tough time battling with all the info. MT choices are toyo m/t, nitto trail grapplers, and cooper stt.
AT choices are toyo a/t, duratracs, DC FCII's, or General AT2
These tires are going to be on the highway for the most part as I DD my rig 35 miles one way to work a few times a week and only get to do some real offroading once every few months. I want something that's going to get good tread life and look aggressive but something that's not super loud. I just hate that I can buy a m/t for the same cost as a/t and in some cases they last longer. I'm looking for something that's not over a 5 on a scale from 1 to mud grappler hahahaha

tires

I run 35" toyo m/t's daily driver here also. they are loud on the road, but had terra grapplers and couldn't go where I wanted to off road. since the toyo's, I have gone way further of road, but there was a trade off. 33" terra's verses 35" m/t's I lost 2 miles to a gallon on the road. ButI bought the jeep to go where I wanted to and that's just the trade off. More than willing to live with that. good luck

Look at the Mickey Thompson ATZ.

 

[rob4607]

315 duratracs, 28 psi, 56 miles each way and a cruising speed of 80-85 mph on average, next set will be the same I'm very pleased with them.

Look at the Mickey Thompson ATZ.

Yup I absolutely love mine, very smooth ride and good off road!

 

[glomb23]

For your use it sounds like Duratracs would be a good fit. I love my trail grapplers on road though. I think they have great manners.

 

[GlobexMike]

We install a ton of goodyear duratracs. They ride really nice and are quite compared to a mt tire. The mickey thompson atz is a great tire as well. We just did a set of 37's on a customers truck.

Falken Rocky Mts are dead quiet on the road, have great wear life and are a lot cheaper than most ATs.

My wifes Fierce Attitude's (ya..ya i know ) in 35's have impressed me in wear, noise and wet traction even if they have a gay ass name.

I know you didn't mention the Hankook DynoPro ATMs, but I'm loving these things. Had them offroad a little bit, and not to bad, great on the road and in the rain, major plus for me. Also they have a 55K mile warrenty, so can't beat that. Just me .02

 

[angrysam]

I'll 2nd the Hankooks. I've had 2 sets DynaPro ATMS on different trucks and was very happy.

I have their DynaPro M/T on my JK. It's only been about 400 miles with these but they handle great in all the rains we're having, good stuff in the mud and are pretty quiet. Probably the quietest mud tire I've ridden on.

I've always pushed MTs hard over ATs, but I have been followed way too many times by some locals on Duratracs to not support them in the MT/AT dispute. Very good road manners and volume while honestly impressing a lot of MT guys off-road... even down here in the swamps.

 

[JKCloak]

That's awesome, thanks guys I'm going to be getting some duratracs I think

Did you make a decision?

 

[jeepmisfit]

Did you make a decision?

What about trail grappler

 

[ShortBus]

I'd recommend the Nitto Trail Grapplers if you haven't made a decision. I compared mine the other day with about 20k on them to a brand new set with maybe 10 miles on them and the difference in tread depth was maybe 3/32 if I had to guess. Obviously I didn't take a tread depth gauge to them, but I should just to get an exact figure. My rig is a daily and I put roughly 70-80 miles/day on it in mixed driving, plus a few trail runs, too. They do produce some noise on the road, as they are an M/T, but no worse than stock tires on a Rubicon.

The DuraTracs are great tires. I even use them on a couple of our city vehicles here at work. The problem I have with them....or Any Goodyear rubber for that matter....is that they wear fairly quickly. Goodyear is notorious for a soft rubber compound, which leads to faster wear. They do perform pretty well off-road, but if you're looking for something that's mainly going to be a daily driver, I'd consider another tire. Just my $.02, though.

You didn't list the Nitto Terra tires in your AT list.... while I haven't run mine off road, they seem (so far with about 1k miles), to be pretty good tires.... time will tell, but they look aggressive and are pretty quiet, ride is better than the stock street tires that were on the truck when I bought it. I do have friends that run these tires and they get/have gotten well over 50k out of them and no one had anything bad to say about them.... almost everyone of them has purchased a second/third set.

Just another idea/option for you.
