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.

I'm running BFGs on mine and they are great. Haven't had any probs outta mine. They are good in snow and in the rain, great all around tire in my opinion.
