Default tire help????

hey everyone im getting ready to get sum 35 inch tires on sum black srt8 rims but im kind of clueless. im looking for a light aggressive looking tire, that is good for offroading fast on dirt, good in sand, good in snow, and sumthing that can hold its own in mud from time to time. they will be on the road for about 80% of the time but by no means am i looking for a practical street tire, i want sumthing big and mean. price isnt a huge concern for this purchase. what do you guess think i should be looking at?

I have the Trail Grapplers in the 33.4" on 20's and love them. I would of gone 35's but my jeep is already DOG slow. I think the Trail grapplers 35's (35.04") around here in Az are like 350$ a tire or so. And for your used tires, I have seen them go from 300$ a set and up on craigslist. So not sure what you might get for them but you will definitely like the Trail Grapplers
