I ran 12.50/35/17 Goodyear MTR on my Jeep great off road , descent in rain but they were hard to get and keep balanced. And you have to rotate every 3000 or they ware bad. And you need to do the chalk test to find the correct air pressure. On s scale of 1-10 they are a solid 8.

Make about a 3 inch wide mark across the tire and drive a few feet and check to see what kind of contact patch and adjust pressure until the chalk wares off evenly across the tread pattern. I only ran 28 psi on my 4 door Jeep

I had 31x10.50x15 on a Wrangler and had good luck...rotated every other oil change (3,000 miles on oil changes) and they went 45,000 miles. Even wear, but did have to balance them more often than any tire I've ever owned. Just get a lifetime balance job and you'll be OK. Best combo off/on road tire I ever ran.

I have 35x12.5x17, when they had under 8k miles they drove smooth on road but now I have vibration issues around 45-50 mph. I keep them rotated every 3-5k miles. I know the issue are the tires because when I put my summer wheels/tires on I have absolutely no steering wheel shake or vibration at any speed in my truck. I will say, the MTR performs great in snow, mud, rocks but ice not really.
