My 315/75-16 Guard Dogs are taller and narrower than every other "35" I've parked next to. Just what I wanted.

Dang, your blue Jeep looks awesome. Those threads are really aggressive looking too.

I been looking at 35in Tall tires and the Guard Dogs seem to offer the closest to a true 35in height vs. other brands that are way less.

Did you get the Kedge Grip?

Thanks for the props. I did get Kedge. Since I haven't tried TW's without it, I can't say it makes a difference, but my Jeep does great on slick winter roads.

99.99999% of 35in Tires in the Market are 12.5in wide.

These Guard Dogs are at most 11.8in wide.

You buying them online? What size wheel you running? $700 for 5 tires is crazy cheap!
