I can only attest to BFG All-Terrain ko's and Good Year MT/R's.  The BFG AT's on my previous KJ (Liberty) were great on snow!  They just sucked when it came to stopping on rain soaked roads.  As for the GY MT/R's (generation before the current kevlar's) are excellent on snow (and in the rain).  You would have to buy the new MT/R's with Kevlar and from what I've heard, they're great in mud, snow and all year around highway.  Only downside, they're a little too noisy for some people.

 

Fwiw, you might want to consider Goodyear Duratrac's (aggressive all-terrain tire).  Wether it was on a forum or in person, everyone I've ever met who runs those tires swears by them.  For that matter, I've never read or heard anyone complain about these tires.  I can't recall, ever hearing about a tire where (at least) some, would say otherwise.  I have to believe they're great tires.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will look into the duratracs and the BFG's. I also will look into the Trxus MT's because it looks like all the lugs have sipes on them, so they should be decent on wet pavement too.

 

Thanks again

As I stated, it seems you can't go wrong with Duratracs and as for TrXus MT's, another great choice to consider.  FWIW — there has been issues with the TrXus at Interco Tires but it appears now that these tires are once again available.  I just surfed over to 4 Wheel Drive Hardware (who just last month had a disclaimer TrXus tires would not be available for at least 6 months) and the tires are once again available.
 

 

ALSO —  I think you've figured out but will mention it anyway — Not all mud tires are alike.  As you stated, TrXus tires are siped and reviews I've read state they're great in all weather road conditions not to mention one of the best off-road mud tires one can buy.

 

Personally — since I thought the TrXus wouldn't be available for awhile, I was going to purchase Nitto Mud Grapplers but now I may reconsider the TrXus (again).  It will be one or the other for sure.

 

Good Luck!

Impossible to answer.  But you most likely can find ballpark answers to whatever tire you're interested in at > Tire Rack Research

I had the STT's in  a 32" fashion, they were great on the road, and off. Last winter, they performed exceptionally well. I didn't once lose traction even in deep snow. I highly recommend them. They did really well in rain and wet pavement. The traction was very good with these. They are a heavy tire also, and do take alot of weight to properly balance, but worth it in my opinion.

 

I'm currently running KM2's, in size 32 as well, and I can tell you these are definitely quieter and smoother riding than the STT's, which is the only downfall IMO, I love noisy tires. I haven't driven them in snow yet, but a couple trips to The Cliffs, and they did amazing. They were terrible at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in MI. There was one hill, took me six or seven tries to get up.

 

As for the MT/R's with Kevlar, I'm already looking into getting a set in size 33. They are heavy tires, but from what I've seen, they are supposed to be 100 times better than their replacement…

 

Just my two cents.
