I hated the duratrac that came with my LR4 when I bought it used. The tires were noisy, not good in snow, terrible off road. I cruised for several years using different street tires and only recently mounted a set of continental terraincontact. Excellent tires so far. I took them twice for weekend trip on moab and they performed extremely well. Last weekend was my first trip of the year (no more snow) on some rugged trail near Leadville, Co, and they, again, delivered an excellent ride with a lot of grip.
