Hello All,
I recently joined the Land Rover world with a 2011 LR4 HSE LUX with the HD package. I have aspirations to do a fair amount of overlanding with this vehicle.
I eventually would like to get a set of Compomotive rims but that may be in a few years.
Living in the foothills of the White Mountains in Maine and the recent snow storm I have come to the realization that the Conti's are simply dreadful in the snow. I have been going back and forth between the GY Duratracs and the Cooper Zeon LTZ for the stock 19's.
Ultimately, I am leaning towards the Duratracs. They have a more aggressive tread and are snow rated. Being in the mountains, we get a fair amount of snow. The trails around here tend to be a bit rocky too.
My two main concerns with staying with the stock wheel size (for now) is sidewall protection and decent grip in the snow.
I would love some more feedback from people with both these tires. I do plan on doing a fair amount of off roading with these tires. Plus the Duratracs were used on the 1,000,000th Discovery expedition that went across Asia, so they can't be that bad right?
