Default Tires suggestions

I picked up a 10 JKU and dieing to get her up higher like my last tj. I've been reading reviews and just wanna get some plp opinions on 2 ideas

First form reading I gathered 8 in wide with a 12.5 wide tire less likely for bead to come off, but what about the toyo mt and the 13.5 would a 10 be ok then???

Second is the actual tire choice I'm looking at all in a 35x12.5R15
NITTO Trail Grappler
TOYO Open Country
GOODYEAR MT/R
MAXXIS Buckshot
DUNLOP Mud Rover
Now the Buckshot n Mud Rover nothing really for a sidewall bite,

The use is a daily but also used for a hunting rig and a trail rig here in southern NM, lot of forest and logging trails, and occasionally using a closed fastest road if the signs are gone.

I'm leading towards the Trail Grappler or MT/R.

Let the shot start firing

Everyone loves the tire they got on there rig, and be careful in ice... everything based on personal opinion. Kinda hoping get a educated discussion on different tires see how it plays out..

Guys, guys, guys, come on, we totally need 15 more threads about these tires tonight! In all seriousness OP I've taken to the terra's I like them, the price is right, but that is my opinion. I will be putting them on the wife's Jeep when her current shoes wear out. They will likely go on my truck as well, but that's alot further down the line.

Default id vote nitto

but im bias
E rated tires ride harsh but hold up very well on and off. You prob need to verify what wheels your going with before you make a choice on tires id imagine . The g/y dura trac look pretty good and wear nice ive seen on the forum , you didn't mention if your lifted yet that makes a difference with 33s or 35s

15in rims might not be the best size, 8in 10in width yes, and a nice offset im not real sure what offset you'll need. but i would say 265/70r/17 with 15s you might need to file the calipers lol. dont do that. if you want full tuck. i think you would be very happy. maybe even 275/70/17 and little trimming....

I like it to go past the fender a lil give a aggressive stance ( not the gay ass tuner stance) but tuck up when at full flex...
Bs would be at 3.75"

I actually just started a thread with a picture of my Duratracs that are load E. They ARE 3 ply sidewalls and with the correct psi in them, they are great! Just my 2 cents. My vote is for the Duratracs! Great performance in almost all conditions. Plus they're severe service rated, which important for me in these Chicago area winters. Anyways, that's my vote, Duratracs in load E.
