My 35" duratracs may never come in, Backordered with no date

So what other options? Should I wait? could be few weeks could be a month. Who knows

What other options?

Sales team is telling me to go with Procomp xtreme AT if I do not want to wait. Any good?

Any MT designs holding up well on raod use. Not a daily driver

I would say trail grapplers.

They handle great, grip well and are quiet on the road.

Also looking on line at the FCII Just like everything, mixed reviews

Other bad thing with Procomp AT is the directionl tread. I do not want that

Kelly Safari TSR and Dunlop Fierce Attitude are very similar to the Duratrac in tread design. Kelly and Dunlop are both owned by Goodyear.

I'm not seeing the 35s listed as an option for the Duratracs, but there is a 315/70-17 (or 315/75-16) which is close, 34.5 according to tirerack and instock. Also, a 315 is pretty much a 12.5" wide tire.

went with BFG KM2 315/75/16
Not quite a 35 but close.
Rather the Duratracs but not if they are a pain in the arse to find when you want them.

Tirepackage.com due to the tire and wheel combo. I looked all over
