tires...whats everyone running?

245/75/16 Wrangler Territories.

They're nice, road noise leaves something to be desired, but I'm not complaining.

I recall a link to a website is re-manufactured tires with glass dust in the rubber which increases life and tread performance. I can't remember what that website was, though. Anyone remember?

I just put on stock size general grabbers(didnt want to lose any power),i'm very impressed with their ability to grab the snow!I took my kids on a couple short trail rides through the pines,had no problems.I tried to get "stuck" in my unplowed driveway,couldnt do it!At one point even plowing up into the piles at the entrence,nope,still pulled out!

Also,before buying these I read about guys not liking them in the rain.Again I'm very happy.I drive down very rough backroads with lots of large,unexpected puddles running out from the sides from farm fields and such.I like to drive WAY to fast for the size of the roads,but still no hydroplaning issues at all.

Unless I'm buying a strickly mud tire,I dont see any reason to try another tire.

Let me know if you would to see pictures,they're stock size so not much to look at.

Thanks! Here are some pics of the tires.

I've used the tires for about 3000 miles and so far I'm happy with them. Awesome in deep snow. Pretty silent on highway speeds a little hum but very good for a tire of this nature. Decent in the rain. Cornering could be a little better. Ride is a little stiffer. Awesome in mud and decent in ice.
