Looking for best MT tires for snow/mud

Hey guys, i'm looking into getting another set of tires for winter/hunting season, and would like some input from others about what tires are the best for the price, and also how they handle in the snow. My last set were the wranglers and they were awesome in the snow and mud, but i'm wanting to look around before I go buy another set of them. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

 

hmmmm, they were great tires, but just thought i would ask around before i spend a grand on another set. Thanks!

 

Siped KM2's. Not as good as the Duras on snow and ice but then again you did say MT's.

 

i like my duratracs a lot better than the bfg a/ts i had before. much better snow/slush performance.

 

m/t vs a/t

 

That's the same way i'm thinking, I'm guessing that's why more and more trucks are getting them lately.

 

Im pretty sure mud tires arent too great in the snow.

 

Toyo M/T or A/T II's

I never had issues in my 2wd F150 prerunner in the snow with the A/T's.

 

My Good year Fierce Attitudes have served me quite well.

 

If you can find a set of the original Wrangler MT/Rs (pre-kevlar) they have been an awesome tire for me. Not so great on ICE, but if they were siped they would be much better.

The lugs clean out well in mud/clay/snow, they have decent float in deeper powder, and still cut through thicker hard-pack snow/slush mix. They air down nicely, perform excellent on gravel, and flex extremely well for rock-crawling. 3-ply sidewall too.

and just fyi...M/T means "Maximum Traction" not "Mud Terrain" or "Mud Tire", while A/T does stand for "All-Terrain"

 

I would love to find a lightly used set of those bad boys. My buddy had some on his YJ (33x12.5) in high school. Never got stuck anywhere.

 

yup, if you do look for / find a set, make sure to check the DOT date. I wouldn't put a set on if there were manufactured over 5 years ago, though DOT accepts the safety ratings for tires less than 8 years old.

*edit - It's 8 years now

 

technically, the duratracs are a/t's too!

 

Ya I have the Toyo A/T II's and love them but I might just get some duratracs again for in the winter. Definitely impressed with the Toyos and the 60k mile warranty is sweet too.

 

True, definitely impressive for A/Ts in my opinion.

 

i am partial to the Mickey Thompson MTZ's. they have performed great in the snow for me.

 

Search "treadwright" And look at the Gaurdog M/T's. They are the original MT/R tread pattern and a overall GREAT tire...

 

I've had a set of these on my f250 and now on my tacoma and a friend of mine has them on his dodge. Great performance great price and they last a very long time for an aggressive tread tire.
