Default What 35's are better?

I am torn between the 35x12.50 17 Cooper STT and the 315/70 17 Goodyear Duratracs. I plan on trails and mud and hopefully snow but also a daily driver. I am not too worried about the road noise. Is the Coopers a little bigger or real close to the 315's ? I have the auto unlimited with a 2.5 Teraflex BB kit and 3.73's at sea level. I am gonna see how the 35's do before I regear but want 35's for the looks too. If anyone has pics that would be cool. Thanks..

Have you looked at Nitto Trail Grapplers?

I was planning on getting them from Sears and they aren't a option from them. The BF Goodrich KM2 are another option in a 35x12.50 17

Damn, Cooper STT, Duratracs, and BFG KM2s?!?!

No wonder you are asking, those are all terrific choices in my book.

Either way you can't go wrong

I have 35" MTR/Ks and have been very happy with them. I am going to try the 315 Duratracs next though.

another vote for KM2's. I have 35's with 373s and I don't see re-gearing soon. on the forum there is a tire review thread.
