35" M/T's.. what to choose?
Im in the market for some new 35's and I'm stuck between a few pairs of tires due to availability and price:
Dick Cepek Extreme Country
Kumho KL71
Hercules Trail Digger
BFG K02
Any input and experience and pics of these tires (wear, on road performance, snow/ice) would be great, and if the K02 are even worth putting in the same league as a true M/T when it comes to off road behaviour, would be much appreciated.

Ya i live in Canada so discount tire is not really an option. I can get KM2's no problem but there considerably more than the DC's. and budget is always a big factor when choosing what to run..

Ya can get any of the Nitto line but there like $500 a tire. where the others iv narrowed down to are around $300-330. so to me its not worth it when you gotta multiply the difference by 5.

Damn... that sucks man. I would probably get the ones that look the most appealing in your case. If you are gonna be in the mud and ice, probably go with a mud terrain for sure.

More suggestions
I have over 60,000 miles on my Trail Grapplers (75,000+ with the 5 tire rotation) but I don't know if the math works out for you. $500 a tire is way more than I paid even with the exchange rate. They weren't good in the ice last winter in Chicago but I understand M/T tires generally aren't although siping can help. My Goodyear MT/R Kevlars seemed to work well in all conditions but were difficult to keep balanced. I'm currently running GY Duratracs on my TJ. They're an A/T but have a good all around reputation.

Ya I know some tires in Canada are way over priced for some reason like Nittos and any Super Swampers, but all the big names are available. Then it just comes down to what shop and their distributer... But the ones I narrowed down to are the ones I can get the cheapest that are still a good tire. Since I'm coming off of a Chinese brand (Sonny Mud Diggers) that are worn pretty good at 50,000km, I want a much better tire all around.
