Im making the upgrade to 33 12.50 15s. What tire will get me through anything? Mainly mud snow and ice. I dont want to go too expensive with the price though.

my last set of tires were wildcat ext and they were awesome in the mud and snow but unfortunately they are discontinued in 33x12.50x15 but from what i hear BFGs are really good i bought a used set of ATs but they caused death wobble b/c they were old and beat but drving under 40 they were great cant say about mud b/c they were on for a day

I'm leaning toward a set of bfg mud terrain km2s myself or possibly the all terrains but ive been trying to find a less expensive tire.

The KM2 BFG muds are turning a lot of heads. I just got some in 35s and like them so far. The new Goodyear MTR's with kevlar are also a recent favorite around my circles. At this point, I can't say from experience how either does in the mud. They both do well on rocks.

My friend has been running Big O XT's and we have both been suprised how they do - those may be something to look at if price is a major concern. I THINK they are cheaper.

i have the bfg km2's on my jeep they are an amazing tire both on road and off road. for the price they are a great tire i recommend them 100%. mickey thompsons are more expensive and the pro comps are a joke in my opinion general makes a good tire too but they are again expensive although i have heard that the khumo mud terrain tires are good ive had a couple people have them with no complaints and i believe theyre cheaper
