i am in the market for some new tires and im sorta stuck in between two sets, the first would be the Kumho Road venture M/T and the Goodyear wrangler duratracs. im leaning towards the duratracs, but i want to get your opinions

the KL71? those are a show truck tire. the duratrac though is a nice piece, made from the same carcass as the kevlar and silentarmor... kinda a hybrid between em. both are AWESOME tires, id go goodyear.Comment

Mine are way louder than Will's from the last time I rode in his Jeep. When RJ took mine for a ride he was surprised at how loud they were and said they were almost as loud as his swampers. That is why I am thinking the duratracs are my next tire as they actually make a load range c 245/75R16 which I'm probably sticking with. I think that is one of the reasons mine have sucked on tread wear compared to his as well is that they are a higher load range. I get angry when I look at my spare compared to the others.Originally posted by 98XJ4X4 View PostComment
