As far as I know, they never made duratracs in a 35/12.5/15. The largest they ever made was a 33"Gy also discontinued their duratracs in 35/12.5/15

I know they had a 35" equivalent. I've wheeled with a few folks who had them and the 35" part is what my buddy who hates me now bought.As far as I know, they never made duratracs in a 35/12.5/15. The largest they ever made was a 33"

A set of Bose noise cancelling earbuds playing "born to be wild" might be appropriateI usually wear ear plugs when I am in the Jeep or riding. That cuts out most of the noise.
I'm glad you posted this. I had a set of BFG A/Ts that were fantastic on the road, but every time I wheeled with them I'd come back with large chunks of rubber missing. I had people I knew also running them, who kept telling me I must be doing something wrong. My argument was that they weren't wheeling their Jeeps hard enough. This confirms my theory!BFG A/T- Not a mud tire, but fantastic street manners, very quiet, they balance nicely too.... horrible tire for what I use them for. Rocks chew them apart. I was having them chunk at 4-5k miles. There was plenty of tread left where it had not chunked. Ruined tire in 4-5k miles. I would actually recommend for a weekend warrior, but not heavy off road use.

They did a 315x75x16 and 35x12.5x17. I have never seen a 35x12.5x15 duratrac listed in their catalog or anywhere else.I know they had a 35" equivalent. I've wheeled with a few folks who had them and the 35" part is what my buddy who hates me now bought.
When I was shopping for new MTs recently I always interpreted long lasting tires as being too hard for rock crawling. I know you mentioned this also. For a non fleet you basically want the softest treads that are just hard to enough survive regular road use.
I also ended on Baja Bosses. They seem to be doing the job I ask of them 3 times a week road duty and at least one hard wheeling day a month. No chunking so far but I don't think PNW terrain causes a lot of chunks. My Patagonia had minimal chunking as well.
You ain't any smarter than the last guy who recommended sticky tires for the street.Im running 35” mickey baja boss and like them, id run another set.
you said the BFGs
look into the 37x12.5R17 Baja Boss X
its there stickey mickey and fairly cheap compared to the other “competition” sticky tires out there
Oh, I wouldnt recommend them for street unless you can buy tires every 6 monthsYou ain't any smarter than the last guy who recommended sticky tires for the street.
How many highway miles do you average per wheeling trip?A trailer isn't an option at this point, nowhere to park it (HOA).
Plus many of the runs I do start in one place, end somewhere else.
So definitely want tires that can be used on the highway.
Possibly getting a set of slightly used Cooper STT pro. I'll see if that works out. I've noticed in pictures they even look very similar to the Baja Boss.
150 minimum.How many highway miles do you average per wheeling trip?
Nice! I like the hitch support, clever.After lots of calling around, I may have found the last set of Nitto TG in the country. A tire store rep gave me the speech about how he talked to the Nitto rep, national back order, etc. Said they aren't even allowing pre-orders anymore because they have sold all that will be available in the next batch.
Then I had him pull up tires in 37 X 12.5 X 17, and he noticed 4 sitting at a store in Alabama. Snapped those up and found a 5th about 45 minutes away. I expected a call from the tire shop saying that they got canceled, wrong tire, or something similar. To my surprise, they arrived the other day. Bought the certs for them. Got them mounted today.
Of course, forgot to tell them to inflate to 26 or so. On the way home, I was trying to gauge how overfilled they were. They were right around 40psi. No shocker there.

I have these and I hate them purely based off the weight. They’re something like 20 lbs heavier per tire than the same size MT/R.After lots of calling around, I may have found the last set of Nitto TG in the country.

We can't run a 37" tire on the Exo-gate without something along those lines. Just can't handle the weight no matter how we adjust them.Nice! I like the hitch support, clever.
