35" or Really Big Winter Tires
Now that I got a 4" lift w/ 35" tires, I am dreading putting on the Winter Tires which (I think-they in storage) are 30"'s like a 255/70/17.
Anyone know of any dedicated Winter's in a 35", preferably 17" since I bought winter wheels last year.
I need dedicated Winter's...No BFG T/A ko's.

If you're going to be running a lot in snow, my experiences say run a tall skinny tire like a Super Swamper SSR 35x10.5. Interco says they've redesigned this tread to be better on wet/icy roads, but I've never used them in icy conditions, so I'll have to take their word for it. They work just fine in wet conditions.

Can't run studs.
The geolanders come in a 315/75/16, which would be a small 35"...I was hoping to find something in a 17 'cause I already got an extra set of 17" wheels.
Super Swampers not a dedicated winter tire. I gotta have dedicated Winter Tire like the geolader.
Far as I can see the geolander 325/70/16 is the biggest Winter Tire avail.

I dont think you can clear the brake calipers with a 16" wheel anyway. I'd look for tires with the RMA severe snow condition rating (snowflake in the mountain logo), which there are not a lot in the sizes for which you're looking. I'd go to a local tire store or look online for the snow in mountain logo. In some states, including Oregon, these are considered traction devices.
