Default Looked at some tires today

In Wisconsin we have this place called "Farm&Fleet" and they sell tires and of course other things as well. I was looking at 2 brands, Cooper and BF Goodrich, both seem to be pretty nice. I guess I liked the looks of the BFG All Terrains. I'm thinking of keeping the stock height for now and putting 30" x 9.5's on for now and just want your opinion on tire brands. In Wisconsin we can have a lot of snow and slush and was wondering how a tire like that does in these conditions. Any of you snow bound Jeepers running with a 30" BFG All Terrain? Do you think that's a wise choice?

Reading the forum threads It sounds like a 31" is a little big and my rub so a 30" sounds like the right fit.

The folks at the store told me a sale is coming up next month where it's a "Buy 3 get one free" deal. The tires are $129 a piece, not a bad price.
