The wranglers work ok, got stuck once, had to rock out, and high centered once, tires wern't the problem there. This will be my second winter but have the Duratrac 33" now

I used the stock tires for about two months in the snow to get out to my camp last year. They worked great in the fresh snow, even when it was wet. After bear season, the roads promptly turned to ice from all the traffic, and remained that way until March or April, and while I probably wouldn't have had much trouble, I decided to put studded tires on all four wheels. My tire shop just happened to have four Jeep wheels of some make that fit, too, so they gave me a discount for taking all four.
Now I don't get to have fun getting unstuck, though.

I've been told they aren't too bad! They look like they can push through the snow pretty well from what I've seen my friends do. My stock Sahara tires got me stuck a few times when I first got my JK but that's understandable.

I don't think you have this problem anymore with your 37" tires
