Snow shares a lot of characteristics with mud, so I guess they will work pretty good. I hope someone will weigh in with experience though.


Snow and mud are the same. But, ice is where the difference lies. Unless the tires have a good amount of siping, a great snow tire will suck on ice.

So far I have not done any mud.
They are great in snow - lots of plowing.
Good in rain - but I don't drive fast.
Only place I've lost traction is plowing snow, on pavement with a very thin skim of icyness. Even studded tires can't handle that.
I'm very happy with them.
The price has gone through the roof as have all tire prices.

How good are those tires in mud that bretto and John posted about?

oldtime (Ken B) has some great input on NDTs and others.

I kind of like these. A little wider for floatation.

Nate, those 29"s look like 33s or 35s on a TJ. �Way cooler and much cheaper.  But I do like NDTs, can't take anything away from them.

I was looking for a DOT legal tire that has a "Turf Tire" profile whereby you can not totally
destroy the vegetation that you run over.   I aint a tree hugger, but a lot of my pasture
is fragile,  and I do run over the lawn now and again...and again.

Anyone know of such an animal?

Thanks for letting me hijack.....
