Yes it will definitely have to be an AT. Just finding the right tire for our weather and the right aggressive look! I will check into those new tires. Really appreciate it!

First most important thing I hope to get feedback on is Tires. I will be in the market for 35" tires to use on my stock wheels. I have read through many forums as to what people suggest. My major concern is: what is best with our states extreme shifting seasons. I travel all highway to work, about 50 miles total round trip. My main objective is to find a tire suitable for daily use and off road fun. I keep seeing GY Duratracs or Nitto Terra Grappler AT. But keeping in mind some of these posts are from around the country. I wanted to hear some feedback from local people and their experiences. I do remember when I moved here from San Diego a few years back and on my old TJ I had 33 inch BF Mud Terrains and were just OK in the snow and rain. Any info is appreciated!
I commute 62 miles a day and ride on GY Duratracs. I have over 100k miles on them and the tread is still decent. Great in snow and bad weather. I don't off road as much as I would like to but they do everything I ask them too when I do. When these go I'm buying another set.
