Dura-tracs or Grabber AT2s? Can't decide!

The thing I don't like about those tires is that they are directional. Which means you can't do cross rotations. Which means they will wear out faster and you won't get your money's worth out of them.

Looking to get some tires in the near future and can't decide what I want. Anybody got any additional pros and cons about each tire listed? Tire size is 245/70/17

Grabber AT2:
Pros:
Cheaper
BFG look alike. (although better in everything :mrgreen:

)
Lighter (40lbs a tire)
$50 rebate on them right now.

Cons:
P rated tire (Although this might be a pro for gas mileage)
Noisy during certain speeds (Had them on my explorer, I know first hand

)
On backorder

Dura-tracs
Pros:
Awesome looking tire!
Awesome traction in about everything
Quieter than the Grabbers
$40 rebate on them going on now.
18/32nds worth of tread compared to Grabbers 16/32nds.

Cons:
EXPENSIVE! :shock:

Little bit heavier (46lbs a tire: Load Range E)

Would the weight be a big deal? Would a 10 ply tire be to harsh for a little Jeep?
Any more opinions would be appreciated!

Hankook dynapro atms. I got them for $100 each mounted, balanced, new stems, and lifetime rotation. :SOMBRERO:

Worth checking out. The shipping tag said 34# each. Great on wet roads, snow and moderate mud I've been in.

Thanks for pictures jeepzid. Very nice! :mrgreen:

As for the hankooks.... I did look at them, but they really didn't impress me too much. Although they are a nice tire!
