Build the rig to fit the trail

This thread has been a good read. Surprising to read how many would/are moving back to 31" tires, realizing they are more than enough for the wheeling they do. I took my Rubicon out the other day to an off road area nearby. That thing, with the OME lift & the generic 32" tires, would climb anything I pointed it at, no lockers needed.
The more I read, the more I am inclined to get either 31" BFG KO2s or Duratracs for my next set of tires. I would love to get a bit of street performance back. Although, today on the freeway, my Rubicon had no problem getting up to 65/70 with no issues...

OP
Buy the KO2'S just to jerk his chain.You mentioned Duratracs. Que @Chris in 3, 2, 1......
I know, right?You mentioned Duratracs. Que @Chris in 3, 2, 1......
Only because the KO2s only come in E load rating, but I love the KO2 look.
OP
31x10.50/15? Those come in C and E load range. I have the C's on my SE. You have to ask for them, though.
245/75-16. Have yet to see them anywhere in C rating, but have not asked at a store.
OP
We know you have a red Duratrac light by your computer that flashes when that tire is mentioned in a thread
Seriously, though, I ran KO tires for so many years, and loved them. Don't really think I paid much attention to the rating in years past, though...

The hood decal is long gone along with the jack on the hood. The crap winch has been replaced with a Warn. I will have new pictures as soon as this thing is back on it's wheels & tires.
Push notifications on my phone, haha... They notify me anytime the word "Duratrac" is mentioned
Kidding of course... or am I?

After the past week I need a hard laugh like this!!!
When I bought mine, duratracs were one of the only all terrain tires I could get in a "c" load range in 245/75/16 size. And I looked hard to try and find anything other than an "e" load range tire. So that was one of he reasons why I chose the duratracs.

It's almost finished. Just a few small things left to do. (Like clean up and install the wheel center caps) Hurried up and snapped some pics before it got dark.
