So I'm going tomorrow to grab some new tires. I don't plan on investing the money to beef up my new jeep to handle 35's just yet, so I'm going with a set of 33's. I've been doing some research and decided on Duratracs. Mainly based on price vs a steady stream of positive reviews. I'm moving to Alaska, so their outstanding review in the snow really stuck out to me. I'm looking to get a set of tires that stand 33 inches tall, however I did read that duratracs, worse than others, do a bad job of coming close to the advertised height. 285/70 r17's are advertised to be 33's. can anybody speak to what size i'd need to get a tire closer to an actual 33?
all that being said, i'm waiting for someone to convince me that i should be getting a set of trail grapplers lol. I would love to get a set. all that's stopping me is the fact that it's going on my daily driver. I've read duratracs win vs the nitto's when going on a daily driver. but who knows, living in an environment like Alaska, a daily drivers experience is bound to be different than a daily driver down here in the lower 50 : ) so please, if you think i'm going the wrong way, let me know.
i'd also like to add that all the information i've given is coming from the mouth of other people, and i have zero first hand experience with either of these tires. so please feel free to point out any misinformation!!
Thanks in advance!
