Default Tires. Snow and offroad.

I need to buy a new set of tires soon. Too lazy and tired right now to search tires and reviews. I trust you guys. I have a 00 xj with 3 inch lift and fenders trimmed. I want to get a set of 31's. I live in wyoming and we get over 500 inches of snow on the mountain each year so I need something that is good snow/ ice and I can offroad in in the summers. Right now I run General Grabber AT2's and they are pretty good but kind of suck in slushy conditions. Snow theyre fine but in the slush they suck. I can spend around a grand. Let me know. Thanks! Redz.

this is my whole problem with them. i dont know anyone who has them. JP magazine ran a set on one of their rigs and loved them. i think they equated them to getting into the fair on half price day because they werent the best at anything, but when you got to go on all the rides you wanted, you were still happy, or something like that lol. the online reviews for them i have found are all good, but im still apprehensive about it for some reason.

I've got just under 3" lift zero trimming and the left front only rubs slightly on hard right turns but the truck isn't 100% straight due to an accident. With your 3" and trimming if I were you I'd go 265/75/16 duratrac. I've got 245/75/16 and guarantee 265/75/16 would look better. I hear duratracs are great snow/slush tires can't wait for winter.
