Default cant go with duratracs...next best thing

So I plan to be cruising a new 2012 within the month. I want to run 15" wheels and 35's. Problem is duratrac doesn't come in a 35" r15. Iv run 3 straight sets of duratracs and they are the best. What's the next best thing for that type of tire. One of my favorite things about the duratrac is they are amazing in the snow...

Was leaning toward the mtr/k but worry about winter road performance.

Id do either but prefer something pretty agressive. That's what's so great about duratracs..

decent in snow, bad on ice. Ran those 2 winters up here in boston and they only did OK. Great tires otherwise.

Kelly Springfield Fierce Attitudes (made by Goodyear). are good and for a reasonable price.

Good Luck!!

2nd that in the STT's! Great tire ran through last winter and the additional Siping in the lugs benefit on the Wet pavement!! Perform well on and offroad as I was pretty impressed after a weekend at Rausch!!

So far I'm happy with mine and can't beat the price. Goodyear owns Dunlop and Kelly, which is probably why it looks like an aggressive Duratrac.Click image for larger version

Thanks and sorry, I lost focus on the thread. That is one drawback with these, they don't come in enough sizes.
