Default 35" M/T's in snow

Well I just purchased my 33's only 1 month ago, now I've added lift and I want to run 35's. If Firestone made the Destination M/T's in 35' I'd buy them in a sec. but they don't. So what I need from you are your experiences and opinions with different M/T's in snow and ice. Living in northern alberta we get plenty of the white stuff. As a matter of fact I took off my soft top yesturday and put the hard top back on in preparation for snow.

I wish i could help but im in the same boat as you are i need some 35's that are more aggressive than an all terrain and still will do well in the snow, i had 35 in. Toyo M/T's on my tacoma and they were awful same when i had 33 X-terrains on my old jeep i had to have it in 4 high all winter i love those two tires off-road but as soon as the snow hit they were terrible

Great in snow...the deeper the better. It's the coating to an inch or two that is hairy.
You know the story...use good common sense. Drive slowly & carefully on wet slippery surfaces. OK..I'm done preaching. I had BFG MT's on my TJ and currently have them. The only thing that held me up was the car in front of me. Other than that I couldn't move once because the snow was higher than my suspension. MT's are a very good all around choice. AT's are the tire to use if you are not off roading.
