We haven't had too much snow since I've had them but the several inches we did get, I'd go out and play and they did great! Haven't been in deep mud but I've been on muddy powerline right of ways as part of my job and have yet to get stuck! Then there's the looks...they really look like an aggressive bad @$$ tire! Here are some pics:
Well I don't plan to go deep mud. I want an aggressive look tire and a tire that will handle stuff if I take it there. What size are yours? About 33"? Or are those same as stock size?

Yeah the only reason I got M/T's was for the look and to have less of a chance of getting stuck. Mine measure out to 33's. Here are 2 pics of them beside my stock bridgestone tires.

I ran them on my first JK and really liked them... I'd recommend them.
