Hankook- Solid A/T
Duratrac- Aggressive A/T
Work out what you primarily drive and choose accordingly [emoji56]
I've run both the Hankook Dynapro At/m and the Duratrac in 255/55/19 in my D4.
In 2015 I did a few thousand km around outback SA with a few from here - on the Hankooks.
Later this year i'll be doing something similar with the Duratracs - so I guess then I can give you the fairest comparison.
Both are good tyres, I'm a long way off needing replacements, but I suspect next time it will be more Duratracs.

I know you mentioned time frame & budget RE: the GOE rims and I myself months ago was determined not to go with them & wanted to stick with a 19" option, though that never worked out & ended up costing me a lot more in the long run.
Aesthetic aside I could not be more happier with my decision to go GOE. I'm running 265/65/18 Cooper ST Maxx. The ride was totally transformed and so much more smoother now, I still can't believe how much of a difference it actually made.
Albeit if you would like to save some money I have 5 of the Maxxis Bravo LT's.
I had the problem of sidewall damage with them, I'm convinced it's the tyre size and not the brand that causes this problem. I had replacement under warranty so out of the 5 tyres two are brand spankers that haven't touched the road and the other three have approximately done 15k klm, looking at them they look the same as the brand new ones.
If you're interested in making me an offer PM me.
They are still on the 19" D4 rims, you can make me an offer for rims & tyres or tyres only. In saying that I would probably prefer to keep rims & just sell tyres as it takes up less room in shed to store rims without tyres. But money talks and I don't think I will ever use the rims ever again, I would just store them as an option for when the time comes to update vehicles and I could throw them in when someone buys the D4.

Cheers,
I put a sharp rock through a left rear side wall on a Hankook coming down from here:Quote:

To be honest - at least 90% driver error - still running road pressures, bad line etc.
After that I was much more careful about wheel position and kept a closer eye on sharp rocks and tree roots etc. that may stake a tire.
In the following two weeks we drove a couple of thousand km in a big loop around outback SA including plenty of rocky sharp stuff.

Trip report HERE.
Not one more problem.
The same tires have done a heap in the Vic high country and a bit of rock climbing around Lithgow without a problem, as well as lots of other small random trips.
19" tires are not the problem many people think they are.... unless you refuse to change your driving style. ;)
So far no drama with the Duratracs - time will tell.
For those choosing between 19" and 20 ".... remember you still have slightly more side wall on a 19".... even thought there is not much in it.
Same here for 20,000km now. Very happy with them.Quote:

They both will do it but it's how they do it, the hiking boots you can just go for it & the slippers you will have to be careful where you tread and tip toe around obstacles.
Why should you have to adjust your driving style, it's meant to be the worlds best 4WD. You should be able to just point it in the direction you wish to go and it takes you there (within reason)
I am now personally convinced after having experienced the 19" with the lower profile tyres that they are not even an option unless your vehicle never ventures past a at the worst a AAA grade unsealed road.
Yes I understand people are having some luck with them but why have to pussyfoot your driving to protect your tyres [emoji780] it's a bloody off road vehicle wearing slippers not hiking boots[emoji779]
My gripe is with Land Rover on this, I believe there should have been a factory 18" rim option.
Why should you have to drive and constantly be cautious of what's happening with your slippers um I mean tyres. I want to have full confidence that they're tough enough to withstand the worst & I understand that accidents happen and they're not foolproof but I want the percentages on my side. [emoji3][emoji106]
