35x12.50R15

[Jarlaxle]

Time for tires for Liz's big Blazer. Currentiy has 33's, going with 35's. Unfortunately, Treadwright no longer has either size, unless we swap wheels and run their 35x12.50R17's. (Considering it.) So...suggestions? Criteria...

Absolutely, positively nothing from Michelin!
Mild to moderate all-terrain that is capable in rain and snow. They will see mostly street use, some off-road.
US-made...or at least, not from China.

General Grabber AT2 from tirerack. $173/ea. Meet severe snow requirements. They are not very loud on pavement. I run them on my truck. They last forever. Very good offroad too. Great in the rain, and USA manufactured.

Yeah, considering those. But wow, $125 to ship four!

TR says that they're not rated for severe snow... ?

Local shop has the Falken Wildpeak...anyone heard of those?

I love Mickey Thompson and run Claws on my trail Jeep. When the tires on my truck/tow rig are done, I will probably get some Baja ATZ P3's.
I have had BFG All Terrains on previous trucks as well and they are a great tire in our location.

I'm not sure where you are in New England, but my shop will match Tire Rack pricing. We install and you don't have to pay shipping. We're located in Western Mass.

The reviews I have read were very positive.

A good friend ran Nitto Terra Grapplers on our last trip to Moab. They were outstanding on the slickrock and were very comfortable on the drive out (yeah, he drove his Jeep out there!).

Nowhere near western MA, unfortunately.

Falken Wild Peak at 6/32. Ready for the junk tire pile. What a waste.

 

[Jarlaxle]

What is the tread depth when new? (Honestly, it looks like an hour with a siping tool would make them perfectly fine until completely worn out.)

falken in general are junk imo
