Snow chains?

I think it comes down to how and where you use them. I'd run them again if I wasn't going to beat on the truck in the rocks. But they do have a reputation for having soft sidewalls so I can't say I'm surprised.
Hopefully by this time next year I'll have the RRC done (as if these things are ever done) and it will take over the rock crawling duties. If/when that time comes I'll probably move the LR3 back to an AT tire instead of the current MTs. Cooper ST-Maxx and the new BFG KO2 are my current thinking.

A lot recommend the General Grabber AT2s for trail use and snow use. Mine were quite good at first, but as they wore, they became very noisy and the mud traction is almost non-existent now. Snow traction was never good, but in all fairness, I don't think my particular size were the M+S rated tires.

Not , that I want to discourage you from buying Duratracks , but like I said , in my case , they turned out to be a complete mistake.
I should probably start a separate thread on them but for now this will do. Long story short , I purchased the last set of five tires in 265/60/18 in the Country ,two weeks a go and after a thousand miles this happened. .

Yep...
Traded my Nokian Rotiiva AT with 60 thread left for those Duratracs, and I had almost 60 000 miles driven already , tough as nails , thread life is 700 as oppose to usual 500 on other tires.I am NOT a happy camper now, just had Duratracs dismounted yesterday for a Goodyear disposal , now I have to wait for their decision and refund .
Basically I am left with no off road tires as of today , lucky for me , I also have a set of Nokian WRG3 for now...Honestly don't know what tire to pick for off road purposes, really wanted Duratracs, for their sort of hybrid design incorporating a AT and MT properties and looks , but the overall fiasco left me hanging ...They cracked and delaminated like some Chinese knock offs ,I guess Made in USA is no longer solid term ?
On the different note , my friend has a similar problem with Falken Fussions..

I see 275 / 65 / 18 at Threaddepot .com which is roughly 32.25.
Like I said, did not wanted to run any lifts , so 265 60 18 Duratracks fitted my bill perfectly...until now .
The way I see BF Goodrich TA KO2 is , that they have not change a thing in the design aside from shoulder bump outs and they just don't fit my needs for off roading, they are more overlanding oriented tire so to speak, propably tough as nails , but just not my cup of tea.Even at the recent test conducted at Expedition Portal , they did not inspired confidence at all.
