There is no better tire for all around use in EXTREME weather.

Nitto has a Grapler all terrain model that's 37x11.5 / 17. I won't consider this tire because I've seen way to many with poor wear. Also, stay clear of Load Range E 10 ply's. Those are for 3/4 and 1 Ton trucks.

That is what I am currently running. I like them but they have gotten extremely loud at 38K Miles. I may end up with them again if I can't decide

I've had my stockers in deep sand aired down to 18...never stuck, pulled out full size trucks and Suburban...no issues as long as you air down. They also wear extremely well. Just be sure to rotate no more than 5k-6k. If you (OP) get them installed at Discount Tire that won't be an issue cuz they do it for free.

Looking at narrower than that more in the 10.5 Range. Toyo Open Country has one but its not 35" more like 33.5 from some things I have seen. Kenda has one also but Discount Tire doesn't handle them and I would like to stay with Discount as they have always done me right on all my vehicles

One thing to keep in mind is if you go with an oddball size, if you trash one somewhere you won't be stopping in most towns to pick one up.

For me it was 37-12.50 BFG KO2 C rated. Best tires I have had in a long time. Smooth and quiet.

MT Baja Boss comes in a 255/85r17 ( I think that is the metric number ) that is basically a 35x10.

I wish they came in a 36x11r17!

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T.
255/85R17 (35x10x17).

I absolutely love these tires. I will not consider anything else. Want to sell my Kenda Klever R/Ts 35x10.5x17 for another set of the Mickeys to run them year round. NOTHING wrong with the Kendas. I just like the Mickeys MORE and prefer an A/T over an R/T. Currently use said Mickeys for winter months only and because they were on back order at the time my self ordered ‘22 Jeep was to arrive. Yes, they have seen off-road leading up to and following winter. Time change to tire change. Lol.

TrailBuilt Offroad on YouTube has A LOT of very useful videos about tires.

I liked 255-80-17E Falkens on my Sport S.

255/85R15 Mickey Thompson tires. Was able to get 5% off through 4 wheel parts. They are the pizza cutter 35's. About 4000 miles on this set so far, and very please with the look and handling. There's also a YouTube video just recently testing the skinny and wide Mickey Thompson tires.

Here's the video that helped me decide on the Mickey Thompson pizza cutters.
