36 inch tires???

I'm having trouble finding a good all round 36 inch tire. I want a pretty aggressive tread that is quiet on the highway and also very good on slippery conditions. It seems that many of the companies I was considering only go up to 35 inches. I was most interested in pro comp but the x terrain and any opinions on something along these lines would be appreciated.

when you say slippery conditions, do you mean on or off road?

as for the x-terrain, they are great on rocks, but wet slick stuff they suck

You could check out the new Swamper TRXUS STS it is like an all terrain but supposed to be decent in mud and good in snow and sand.

My truck will be more of a street vehicle so I would like good traction on wet pavement and on snowy streets. I have been looking around and might have found an alternative but do not know how good of an all round tire the Dick Cepek Kevlars are. They come in 36 x 16.5 and is the closest I can find to my liking.

if you want good traction on wet and icy/snowy streets, stick to a skinny tire, like an all terrain with lots of siping and biting edges
