Default Dunlop GRANDTREK SJ6

Any of you guys heard of this tire?? One of my buddies sent me a link on it, and it seems perfect. It says it kicks *** on ice and in snow, yet still rides smooth. I was kind of having a hard time figuring out if they offered it in a 35/12.5/17 size though. Any of you guys help me figure out if this tire comes in that size? It defiantly looks like a sharp looking tire that will do good for me in the winters, yet still act as an all season tire. If I can't get this tire in the 35" size, I'll just end this tire debate and leave it to the Prcomp All_Terrains. Sorry if I ask too many questions about this tire ordeal, but I want to make sure I get the right tire. I'm dropping over a grand on these damn tires, so I got to make sure they are going to fulfill my needs, thanks as always guys.

as a snow tire yes, all season far from good, i wouldn't run them in the summer they will wear very fast. i would look into a bfg a/t for a good all season tire that has a 50000 tread life warranty. and still give you good traction in the snow.

haha gotta love the being the question masters!

9612v, I think I like the Procomp Allterrain better than the bfg. Provides the 50,000 mile warranty and is "severe weather rated", so thats a plus. But I'm sitll thinking what I want to do. They are all in the same price range, so its coming down to applications and preferances at this point..

haha aww man itd be so easy to pick a tire! But I have to compensate for EVERYTHING. I need a tire that can last all year long, ride smooth, and be ready for any kind of snow storm, black ice, rain, mud, all of that crap! But there are some nice options I believe, I can't wait to drop the mud tires and move onto something more civil. I feel bad making my truck drag these mud tires around everywhere. It doesnt help that there 35", but having that mud tread just really sucks down the gas mileage with all that humping and thumping, there just like big blocks lol.
