Thumbs up Winter Tires

Fellas, I am new here, have a 15 JK Rubicon 2 door. I am running 38s on her, and am looking for new winter tires. The girlfriend has a set of Nitto Trail Grappers 37s on her f250 and they worked great last winter. But I am torn between the Trail and Ridge grapplers. I will be primarily be driving in Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Any experiences or thoughts would be greatly helpful.

Thanks

You live in a snowy area, you should know that more sipes and narrower tires are going to be your best bet. 38's would be better down sized to 35's and narrow. Of the two options you've presented, the ridge grappler should be the better choice.

If you're aware of the "internet" or "google" at all, you'd know that trail grapplers are not good for winter...but go for it, have a ball.

I had 37" KO2s out last winter (in Jersey) and they were surprisingly great. I had Duratracs before these in 35" and I wasn't impressed.
