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.

Thanks guys I just ordered a set of 315/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs with Vision 398 Manx wheels.
I'm looking forward to getting it all mounted on once the lift gets installed

I was so pleased how aggressive they are. I was worried they would look tame compared to mudders but thats no problem. And way better in the ice and snow im told.

I've had quite a bit of experience with some of the more popular tires out there. I started my JK's build with BFG KM2 muds in 35, upgraded to 37s a year later. Both sets were horrible in anything slick, to the point of being deadly on ice. Neither came close to being their marked size. The 35s were actually about 33.75, the 37s more like a big 35. They didn't do anything well, dirt, rocks, etc were ok, not great. Street, they were noisy and hard to keep balanced. I dumped the 37s for MTR/Ks in 37. These were actually the marked size, and an improvement in all respects except for balance, which was a draw. I eventually wore them to a point they needed to go. They were on an estimated 60 day natl backorder when I checked around. On a recommendation I rolled the dice on a set of MT ATZ P3s in 37s and found the promised land. Best all around tire I've ever run, BUT, they unfortunately won't last 20k miles. No free lunch I suppose. Looking at the relatively new Toyo hybrid AT, and Nittos new Ridge Grappler. A new day has dawned in tire tech, the ATs are worth a look.
