Default Mud Grapplers and snow

Anybody have any experience with mud grapplers and snow? I like what I've seen with the offroad capabilities of the mud grapplers but would like to know how they are in snow on the road.

any thoughts are great.

thanks

Mike

I was pretty surprised with them, I lived in Wisconsin my whole life up until recently and i never had any problems at all on snow, Ice was about the only thing they feared. We usually had wet heavy snow the last few years wich is pretty similar to mud imo. Mud they also were phenomonal, but im not to sure im sold on there rock performance yet.

They're a blocky, luggy tire with minimal siping, they will always suck on ice.

That said from what I've seen spotting rigs on some of our snow wheeling runs, they really hook up even when blocked up with snow.
