I know variations of this have been done half to death, but the most recent thread I found hasn't really been active for about two years.
As you can tell from my two choices, I'm looking for a good MT/AT hybrid and have narrowed my options down to these. I was looking for anyone with first hand experience with either or both. Both of them have pros and cons from what I've been able to research. The Duratracs are light, but they're a bit more expensive and their 2-ply construction results in a weaker sidewall. The Coopers on the other hand are strong but heavier as a result. Some anecdotal evidence I've found (read: "web-wheeling") has shown that gas mileage suffers accordingly.
Noise isn't really a concern for me as I'm coming from a Jeep on 35 Inch Mud Terrains. Something that's a bit louder than the usual "highway-terrain" won't really bother me all that much.
What say ye, Expo warriors?
