New member here to show off new jeep. Haha
Finally got my new wheels and tires mounted on my 2012 JK Sport!! Threw on some 16x8 Black Rocks and 285/75 r 16 Duratracs which I love and seem unstoppable in the recent snow we got. They fit perfectly without the need of a lift and have not had any rubbing while wheeling and still have awesome ground clearance. Also looking for some off road partners around the Greensboro NC area. Thanks!

Welcome to JKF! I ran through three sets of the Duratracs--they are quite excellent on snow (and sand, too). The one weakness they do have is they puncture a bit too easily. The E-rated 35s (that I run) may be a bit better in that regard than the size you have. A friend of mine and I drove our Jeeps to the Arctic a couple times and he runs the same size as you. He suffered two flat tires on the trip. I didn't suffer any (though I did suffer a punctured sidewall on a different trip years earlier in Canyonlands National Park). Anyway, enjoy the new Jeep and hope to see you out on the trails!
