Interco tires are great for offroading, and offroading only.

i have one tj with 33 destination mt and another tj with 33 trxus mt.
both are great off road tire, the trxus is great on hard packed snow, but the destinations suck in the snow. period.

my xj with 36 iroks work great both off and on road. even winter driving they are better than my destination.
that's because both the trxus and iroks have siping, where as the destinations are smooth block treads with absolutely no siping. they require studs, but they are not allowed here.

but off road, the destinations hold their own with my other two jeeps.

if there's snow, get anything with siping. if just off road, it don't matter, but siping works better on the rocks.

my next tire on my xj will be super swamper tsl.

if it's just your options, i'd get the procomp extremes.

Have your Firestones siped in the centers by a tire shop! I have had every tire I've bought for the last 14-15 years siped, and it will make all the difference in the way they do in packed snow and Ice.

Goodyear MTR Kevlars are surprisingly quiet for mud-terrains.
