Duratracs or STTs

Then again......... (sorry Chris)

I have seen every kind of tire get sidewall cuts. The STTs wear well, are durable, and an all around great mud tire. All o the edges on the Duratracs give them a huge advantage on the rocks.

I really don't typically do a lot of mudding - Most of my wheeling is on the beach or out in Uwharrie and similar conditions... so typically Dirt/Rock trails. As a result, Duratracs were the perfect selection for me. My point is if you know what type of wheeling you are typically doing, select the tire that is most conducive to your wheeling environment. Duratrac is a great tire, but mud is not its forte - it should not even be in your options.

Anything less than 'D rating' really should not be considered.

Not questioning you, but why not?

If that 'C' rating also applies to his load range, you simply should not wheel a +5000 lb vehicle with a 6 ply rating. (Generally what Load Range C means). If he is wheeling, even when mudding - you really want a strong set of tires underneath you. Really need to have 10 ply rating. When that vehicle starts to flex and the distribution of weight starts to vary - you just want to make sure that regardless of the environment your driving on, the tire can handle it and not tear a whole or rip.
