Hey guys looking to upgrade my tires on my 2011 JK, I was looking at the 35x12.50R-17LT, Grabber Tire. Anyone have these? How do they hold up? I'm in Northern IL so we get all 5 seasons (including construction season). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

They wear really well, however in mud they become like drag slicks and have difficulty getting the mud out of the grooves

 

Yeah I've heard they're really only a good sand/dessert tire

 

I have them on my Jeep (in NE PA) and I do like them, although I would definitely get something different next time. They're a very heavy tire. Mine are 35x12.50x15 and weigh 74lbs each without a rim. Plus to be honest they're pretty darn bad on packed snow. Deep snow they're decent though. I've been looking at the Mastercraft Courser MXT for my next set as they're lighter, siped, and really well priced.

 

And The best pic I have of the tires

 

Well with what you guys are telling me I think I'm going to pass on these considering our winters here in Chicago can be pretty snowy and I don't do much in the way if rock climbing, more muddy trails than anything. So what would be a good snow/mud tire that I can get in 35's?

 

Think an aggressive AT is the best choice for most. MTs are great in deep snow, but mostly suck on the road in normal snowy/icy conditions.

Check out the Goodyear DuraTrac (315/70/17), Fierce Attitude MT, Toyo Open Country R/T, and Nitto Exo Grappler.

 

Possibly a BFG AT or a General Grabber AT2? I've heard good things about both of those tires. Less aggressive of a sidewall look however. Tons of people are happy with the Duratracs however.

 

Ok awesome thanks for the advice.
