the strange thing is I don't think they are any better in the snow than the stock BFG's . and yes I live in Phoenix AZ ,but also have a house in Parks AZ 15 min from Flag and got 29 inches in 24 hours this week.

Hey I was in big bear this past weekend! Good stuff but I didnt take the Hummer. When they require chains or 4x4 with snow tires up there do they allow you to pass without chains?

They just waved us thru... But when it gets thick they check if you have chains just in case...

Problem is where the hell can I find 35" cables ( I like cables better than chains, they dont tear up your tires as bad)

I called napa for cables on my stock tires and they could have ordered me some. I doubt they would fit a 35" mud tire though?
