WRANGLER DURTRAC REVIEWS?

I'm looking at a mud terrain/mud terrain tires (285/75/16) and want some input from y'all. I really like the look of the duratracs. Thoughts? Pictures?

I have them in 33x12.50x15 on my 88' Suburban and love them. They are wearing well and are quiet enough for how aggressive they are. This is my weekend truck though. These tires might be on the edge of too noisy for a daily driver but not near as noisy as most other mud terrains.

lots of reviews on the internet and they get high praise. Wish they made them in a 35x12.5r15 tho.

I've got them in 265/75/16 LRC on my little Ranger, for about 10 months now. I wish I'd had these from day one. Tried the Mastercrap,[Cooper], ATX, junk compared to the DuraTrac. You do get what you pay for in this case.
I have 315/70/17 BFG KO2s on my 150, they're just "alright" compared.
This past winter, I had zero problems on ice/snow with the Duratracs. I had to throw my 150 into 4X4 to get out of the same spot as my RWD, open diff, Ranger, that didn't even spin a tire.
I bought both the DuraTracs, and the BFGs, to sorta do my own evaluation as to which one was the better tire. Having said that, the next set of tires on my 150 will be DuraTracs.
They ride decently, and I don't think they're any noisier than the KO2s. They seem to be wearing very well, with 5K mile rotations.

I had 305/70R16 E-Rated Duratracs installed on my F350, and thought they handled extremely mushy. Balanced, aligned, and inflated correctly on 8" wide rims. I opened a case with GoodYear, and had them exchanged for a set of SilentArmor 285's, which are decent. I know opinions on tires are subjective like that of many things and some people really like those tires. They look great and have good traction, but I'll never buy them again.

The duratracs are a bit loose for the first 2k miles or so.

I have a set on my 07 F-250 right now and they have 50k miles on them. I bet I could get another 5 or 10k out of them. I haven't been able to get a tire to last more than about 35k other than the duratracs.

The Silent Armors were excellent tires, in fact, the BFGs replaced those, simply because I needed 17". The new Adventurer is supposed to be decent as well.
If I could have gotten the Adventurers in my size, I would have thought pretty hard to get them than the BFGs.
Although, I don't think the Adventures would be as good as the Duratracs in the snow.
