Would like to see some amateur driver's reviews on the Pitbull PBX 35 12.50R17 tires. Can't find any. Their Load Range E, 3 Ply tire carcass, and 3 Mountain Peak Snowflake winter rated is what catches my interest. Still have plenty of tread life left to get my Cooper S/T Maxx tires through this winter season though.

I looked into those quite a bit. Found the same thing... almost no reviews.

I dont have much of a question, though, that they would be great tires. Sizing is super minimal though (think they only have 35x12.5’s).

I got the AT3 XLTs installed today. 295 70 17. i went with the 295 because they are a bit taller and wider and i like that look. coming from a 315 i couldn't go straight to the 285 size tire. extremely happy with the purchase. i wasn't into the K02s anymore and i wanted a change. glad i went this route. they balanced really well unlike the past K02s i had and the ride is just as good. i will post an update in a few weeks, should have a 2000 or so miles on them by then.

Is that a load E tire? I’m in the market for a load E a/t 37s

Those are 12 ply, load range F tires, marked by Nitto as the 128Q F BSW.

You can get them in a 37, 10 ply, load range E.

really? Better for off road or are you missing the needed flex?

Been looking into the both the subzero ice/snow grip and for hot desert sharp rock reviews of the X3s myself, but it won't be until the following winter that I will make the purchase. Still have above the new minimum 6/32" mandatory state required winter tread depth on my PW tires. Interested in the 315 70R17 size at 34.4" diameter in order to be able to mount the spare underneath to use all 5 tires. The X3 doesn't have the winter 3PMS rating, but their Duragen technology states that it remains flexible in cold temperatures. Few M/T tires remain flexible in extreme cold (below 0 degrees Fahrenheit...it can get into the negative 40's and even further below on the Western Slope). Each tread is siped and it has 3 ply durability for rocks. Expecting based on the forecasts to be towing over several snow covered high mountain passes this weekend, so winter conditions tire grip is important. Carry chains for both the trailer and PW.

Overall have had no issues with running the General Altimax Arctic studded on both my youngest daughter's car (2nd set) and my wife's car during the winter seasons in both the High Sierra of Nevada and in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. My eldest daughter's 2018 Tacoma TRD will be getting the General Grabber ATx this winter, not the Cooper AT3. The ATx has the 3PMS rating, whereas, the AT3 does not. Happy with running the Generals.
Check out the milestar Patagonia like what I have. The review that sold me had them "snowing" i guess the snow version of mudding in colorado and they didnt lose traction. The only reason the Rubicon got stuck was too much ****** powder under the differential.
