I have a 2013 JKUR on order expected in December (last of the Crush). I have concluded that I need something other than the stock BFG MT for winter. I live on Vancouver Island where we get little snow but lots of black ice. I also live at the top of a 400' hill with a 20% grade on the way up (or down).
I am debating 2 options:
1). Replace the BFG with GY Duratrac and run them all year around. I am esp. interested in the 33X12.5X15/MB72 option
-- or --
2). Buy winter tires (e.g., Blizzak DM-V1 or Michelin Latitude XI2) and keep the BFG to run in the summer
I would be interested in feedback on the two options, esp. from anyone using either options in icy conditions. Not really interested in studded tires but open to other ideas.
