Sorry I can't offer more advise. I think JoeH has Duratracs on his SMB. Maybe he has more experience.

I've got close to 10k on Duratracs now and I'm pretty happy with them. I can only compare them to the BFG A/T TKO in terms of handling and snow performance. The Wranglers are a bit louder on pavement but it's only noticeable at lower rpms or lower speed. I don't notice any difference in noise at hwy speed and they track very well and don't wander. They also get the edge in snow. D-rated BFGs had better snow/ice grip than the e-rated version. The Wrangler's do pretty good in snow considering they are 315s and about an inch wider.
I also like the fact that with a 3860 load rating at 65psi I don't have to run 80psi to get the same load carrying capacity for my rig. I run 50psi on the hwy which is about a 20% safety factor but according to the charts I could get away with 42psi to handle the 10,000lb of my smb. Hope that helps.
