Default kanati trail hog vs duratrac

searched here but couldnt find much. my mts just ride too rough at highway speeds so im going back to an at, but still want an aggressive look. leaning toward durtracs but found this tire that has a similar look. theyre about $300 less than the duratracs in my size (35x12.5x17) for set of 4. reviews on the interwebs are scarce but have been mostly positive. if anyone here runs these and can comment on their highway manners i would greatly appreciate it. thanks!

dont cheap out on off brand tires. not really worth the few hundred you "save" by getting a crappy tire. Check out the nitto ridge grappler too.

kanati are not an off brand. their main company is GreenBall tire and are well know in atv/utv world. i had a set of Kanati Mud Hog for 5 years and put almost 55k miles on them. never had 1 single issues and never got stuck. i just replaced them last week with Falken Wildpeak at3.

also on the raptor forums, they prefer the kanati over the duratrac as the duractac is a softer compound on tends to come off in chunks when offroading on rocks,

Those kanati's look like the dura with a bfg center. Personally I prefer the duras. I ran them for 5 years and got 70k lmao outta them. I could have kept them longer but I traded. They were cracking tho.
