I have a 91 limited with 30x9.5x15 BFG mud terrains and if you are looking for a tire that performs in the snow don't buy the mud terrains. My turbo car gets around better in the snow than my jeep in two wheel drive. I really love the look of the mud terrains but I think the next set will be all terrains. The A/T's rock in the snow. just my .02

I bought the TrXus STS radials 29/10.5/15 and love them. They are great off/on road and awesome in the sand. I keep the PSI at 30lbs all the time and they grab great on the street...Tj

I'm not a Goodyear guy, but those Duratracs they make look really nice. The price is right too.

BFG ATs all the way.. great in snow/ low road noise/ still has control on ice/ likes to grab and throw mud and rocks... tailgaters are no longer an issue.

Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac's ... great tire, look awesome, quiet on the road. I drove up and down California in them and they performed great on the highway and amazing off road. They won't stop OTHER DRIVERS from hydroplaning into you though...stupid little kia...

Maxxis Bighorns!!!!! They look very rugged and cool. They work AWESOME!! in snow, sand, mud, rocks and wet pavement. They are also very quiet on the pavement for a mud terrain tire....oh and BTW, they are cheaper than BFGs and Good Year MTRs

BFG's are good but they dry rot. and Good Years are just that (good for a year) if you are in wet/snowy conditions more so than mud or sand get something with a more aggressive sidewall and a more even foot print

Good Year Wrangler Duratracs. Great tire in my opinion. Good in all weather, fairly aggresive. Not noisy at all compared to most aggresive tires. Have about 25000 kms on my set and tread is still near 95%. Good traction in mud. And if you are in an area which gets cold and snowy in the winter, it is -40 here right now and just got dumped with about a foot of snow. I swear by these tires now. Used to have BFG all terrain ta's. They were good, but nothign compared to the Duratracs
