Default A/T Tire advice!

Hey guys, so I finally ordered my lift (TF 2.5 Coils) and will run 35's. I need advice on an a good A/T, i have looked at the PC Xtreme A/T which seem to suit my needs but I just want to get other opinions, particularly people who live where it snows. I live in Boston, MA and the winters here are horrible. I do very mild off-roading (trails, beaches etc.) so I don't think a M/T would work because this is also my DD. But I also want an aggressive looking tire. Pictures would be great!!! thanks in advance!!

I just got a quote from Travis on Discount Tire (forum member) on those last week. Love the looks! He didn't mention that size being too big and I have the 18 stock sahara wheel...

Here's the price on 5 DuraTracs.

275/70R18 Duratrac: $229.00 each
Shipping is FREE

I am considering the BFG's as they dont look much less aggresive than the M/T's. I like the looks, and the M/T's are so popular that I think they should be stellar. This is all theory though.

BFG's AT's are the best as far as I am concerned. I have been running them on all my jeeps and prior to that my trucks. Best wear and handling.

This is one ? where the majority will give you the same answer
regardless of where you ask it. If you ask in a truck forum, jeep
forum or anything else the majority of people will always say the

BFG AT is the best all around AT without a doubt.

Going with 35's are you going to regear?

I put the Tera crappler A/Ts on my JK when I first got it. I hated them so bad that I sold them after 5k miles for $400. (I payed like 3 times that for them). I wouldn;t reccomend them.

Anyone running those MT ATZ's, those are pretty nice. I would love to some pics of people running them especially in a 35! no love for Pro comp? should I just toss the idea of getting the Xtreme Terrains? thanks all for the input!!
