Thats odd to me you like the SRA's,, I find them useless.. cant hold a corner and deep snow they have no bite at all,, I have to climb some steep hills to get home everyday. Friday in a good storm going up the one hill,, that my 07 JK with 31" MTR's did no issue,, my jk with the sra's drove up sideways trying to slide off the road the whole time,, it was actually embarrassing it was so bad..

Well,, I need input for good rubber,, I just had to drive down a 4 mile unmaintained gamelands road w/14" of snow, covered with an ice crust and lots of standing water, to go around an accident scene.. they said an hr or more till the road would open,, its a 50 minute any way around to go out to another way,, so I took the shortcut.. didnt think it would be that bad,, but the sra's are junk and barely made it thru...

I'm running 35" Hankook DynaPro MTs, and to my surprise, they really did well in the snow... in fact, they were even better than the stock Sahara tires (which had considerably more sipes/grooves in the tread).
The roads into work on Monday were pretty crappy, but I only used 4WD for about 5-10% of the ride, because the tires did a great job in 2WD.

I'm thinking about those hankooks,, got an OK price from a semi local tire shop of 198 each thats m&b and stem, tire disposal all but tax.. I just need wheels and sensors and I'm ready to buy..

Haven't had them off-road yet, but the on-road characteristics are great. They're really quiet, too.
