you'd get quicker answers doing a search.. I think in the 3rd gen general discussion there is a sticky/poll about tires.

I have cooper Discoverer ht plus- They've been great so far on wet and dry ground and sandy mud. Can't say much for snow yet.

A lot of guys have Nitto Terra's that seem to have no complaints. That is going to be my next set of tires.

Grabber AT2's are great in snow.

You want to stay away from an aggressive M/T tread. Large, aggressive blocks with big voids is a no-no. Look for a lot of siping like you'd find on a Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo Open Country A/T, Mickey Thompson ATZ or a Firestone Destination A/T.

Siping is critical for grip on wet pavement, ice and hard packed snow...

Bridgestone Blizzacks. They work even better on ice which is where it really counts.

Last I knew, the Blizzack wasn't made anywhere close to a 35" tire, nor were any other Bridgestones to my knowledge...

Actually Bridgestone has Blizzak DM-V1 in 17",18",19",20",22" sizes. I assume that one of these tires will have full size 35".

I just checked Bridgestone webpage and the biggest size the Blizzak comes in is a 18" rim on a 32.6" tire....
