Get nittos trails grappers
Those would suck on the Ice in Jersey during the winter. They would need 2 sets of tires then.

I just put a set of Goodyear DuraTracs on my JK. it's my daily driver and this is my first set if tires after the factory tires. I love them! No road noise, very smooth ride and the tread is aggressive enough to get off the beaten path with confidence. Plus they have plenty of siping for wet/icy traction. I live in Philly and I expect they will be great this winter. No issues at all with hydroplaning so far in rain. Just giving you another option to consider. Good luck with your choice!

I had a set of Duratracs on my last Wrangler and they worked very well in the MN winters, I would recommend them as they are one of the lighter tires and had great winter traction. I may get another set when the OEM tires wear out unless i want to go 37s.

Goodyear SRAs are total crap. They came on my F150. Ugh terrible. Go with the mentioned Duratracs.

I would recommend either the Toyo Open Country AT2 or the Cooper AT3. I run the AT3 now in 315/70R17s and have been happy with them. However, I am going with an M/T for my next set. The Toyo is a good option as well. Toyo and Nitto are sister companies, but in my opinion the Toyo A/T looks better than Nitto's Terra Grappler. Also the Toyo is available in white letter on select sizes, where the Nitto's are black wall only

Local shop here in Grand Rapids Michigan pushed me to the Toyo At2 vs. the duratrac. I am buying the same for my wife's DD. The shop mentioned it is a much better AT tire than the Duratrac. Eddie, please correct us newer jeepers if we are mislead.

I've lived in Utah/Colorado and still drive there during the winter months. I've used both Duratrac and Toyo in winter/ice conditions - what I like about the Duratrac is it can be studded. Other than that, they are both a good winter tire. I now run BFG KO, BFG now makes the KO2 which looks like a good winter all around tire.
As mentioned, I run the BFG KO and carry a set of chains when I travel to snow areas, I've only had to use the chains once in about the last 4 years and it was here in TX - we had 2" of solid ice for several days ...go figure

I'm about to enter my 4th winter in NY on trail grapplers with no past issues and no future concerns.

I agree for a good all around tire.

Another vote for duratracs. They're on my grand Cherokee, and they work well in Canadian winter. I figured they were a good compromise for me to get it off-road occasionally and my wife be safe driving on unplowed highways.
