I agree with the duratracs. Got them over the weekend and it's snowing out now...just came back from the first snow run and I love them. I had to mess around to get loose, and in 4wd it was like there wasn't even snow on the ground. Well worth the money I paid for them!

I've got 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers and they do great on snow, slush, and ice.

-ok for deep snow but throw some ice under them and they suck. I've been running them just under a year and they are great off road but I needed to sipe and groove them to get them to bite in the slush and ice and they still aren't that great. Recommendation from a guy who drives in the ice and snow 4-5 months out of the year, get a dedicated winter tire and forego the 35''s. Narrower is also better in the winter so you're better off with a 285/70 (or 75)/17
- would also consider the treadwrights with the kedgegrip

I had duratracs last winter and loved them. This year I'm running Nitto Trail Grapplers and so far they are handling great! If you are looking for an all around tire and not just a snow tire, you might take a look at the Nittos.

Good luck!

I have had great luck with general grabbers AT, toyo open country AT, all were great in New England winters and i currently have nitto trail grapplers which also have worked excellent in snow. Most any AT tire on a jeep will excel.

Duratrac does not make a 35 I had them in 33" and loved them I recently upgraded to the 35" Goodyear MTR and love them a bit pricey though
