Default Poll: Pulling the trigger on 35's need help making up my mind
Need a good tire for 95% on road driving with TONS of snow in the winter.
Driving 60+ miles per day
Duratracs are awesome in the snow from what I read here and they have the snow symbol. Trail Grapplers look amazingly aggressive but are heavier and not sure if they do as well as the Duratracs in the snow.


315/70/17 Duratracs (Run small...really a 34?) $271 -weighs about 70lbs
295/70/17 Nitto Trail Grappler (Same size as the Duratracs?) $270 -weighs about 71lbs
35X12.50R17 Nitto Trail Grappler $298 - -weighs about xxlbs ???????????????????
