first off, they are an allterrain, not mud terrain.
My buddy had them back in the day. He bought them because they were cheap and they were a load E tire. Pretty good tire but they were a little soft. You get good traction, but your not gonna get as much life with them as you would a different tire. That goes with any tire though. Softer will grip those rocks better, but you loose life expectancy at the same time. your choice

Ya i saw the duratracs.Very nice i thot,but alittle out of my price,considering i just spent $950.56 on the kumo road venturs mt's and will cost me additionally 80bucks to get them mounted an balanced lol.So i wanted an At tire and for the price its good.If you know one anyone who runs them,ask them how they like them.Thanks

My buddy had them in the mud a few times. His Xterrains were 20 times better for mudding. If you are mudding 5 times a month, you should probalby look into a mudterrain tire. I doubt you will be completely satisfied with a allterrain if you mud that much

Ya thats what i was thinking about actually.The mudden part.I mainly want them for road use now as i will have the road venture mt's for my mudding.I have been on other sites and the general census i get it that their not really worth the money.I don't think i will be getting them.I will take Ford4wd08's advice and probably get the duratracs,just have to wait one more paycheck,lol.
