Flotation is what's I'd like for deep snow. Not looking to spend $4k+ on tires and wheels though.
I found some 31x15.5r15s. I'd love to see how those do on sammy or 4cyl tj in deep snow!

I ended up going with KM3's and would buy another set in the future. I haven't had the pleasure of wheeling in clay and heavy mud so can't speak towards that. However, the KM3's have done well in multiple river crossings, Moab rocks, sand and wearing nicely considering I've flat towed it 5-6K miles.
I'm in @zackcj7 region and have very similar conditions. We need wheel speed in the mud.Then a few hours with a pressure washer.
We can almost never crawl an obstacle, those conditions ate rare. Folks don't usually got for 4 to 1 Tcases here because it is too low for most stuff. I have a manual with the np241 and 456 gears on 35s. I typically approach a wall in 2nd

Cooper M/T all day long. At $230~ each it's a no-brainer.

Why? For what terrain and where? Texas isn't anything like Johnson Valley, dripping wet and steep coastal British Columbia, or the high Cascades in the dead of winter.
I run Interco. Have a set of Boggers 35x14.5x15 on homemade steel beadlocks that are awesome in the mud and most everywhere else except where they aren’t, the road.
Also have a set of SX2’s that go anywhere with much better road performance but still a Super Swamper.
Neither is a radial.
That's wild. We have a real mix here in the southeastern US. We actually have 5 distinct climate zones in my state, from subtropic at our southeastern beaches to tundra in our northwestern mountains, and things tend to stay moist. Our clay, which covers most of the state, can be rock hard when dry, like you can leave black marks and smoke a tire on it, but when its wet, it's slick as algae on a rock, or oil on a polished concrete floor, which is when we need momentum and wheel speed. And it will stick and clogg-up quick. You should see transplants trying to dig in our red clay.

Yes, completely different landscape but the only thing missing in Texas is anything resembling a mountain. A caveat I should have mentioned: It could be considered a daily on-road driver since I don't drive much, working from home and living in a small country town. I have another vehicle but as you guys know, any excuse to drive the TJ is a good enough excuse!
As far as the tires, these are the features I like.
- 3/4" tread depth and thick sidewalls.
- They are quiet on pavement. No irritating buzzzzzzzz. Some people say they eventually develop it, I'll wait and see.
- We have mud in Texas. Lots of it. These things do a great job at eating mud and flinging it out. I wouldn't trust them in a bog, which might be sort of like Johnson Valley?
- All weather, including stud holes
- Rock climbing (w/ lockers)
- PRICE
- They are decently suited to any terrain I may want to play in. Not a masterclass, but for someone who is about 20/80 split of off-road and on-road across the wide array of Texas landscape, they are perfect.
Depends how long they sit. Always a flat spot but it rounds out reasonably quick.
I’ll note. Anyone looking to purchase Interco’s check out their Blem list
I’m in need of some new 35-12.50-15 also,I have very good luck with m/t mtz.but would love to try Maxxis razr,would love to see pic on a tj in that size.they look like they run true to size.
