Toyo open country's and bfg a/ts are my favorite tires. I have had a few different mt's and I fell like they are over rated, suck in snow and heavy and there are very few places I can't go with my a/ts people go with mt's. That said my vote is bfg a/t's

That's funny, I think the Bfg at is the worst tire I have owned. I thought my Toyo mts were just as good in the snow but better everywhere else. Toyo wasn't good on slippery ice though. They loved deep snow.

I was happy with the Toyo, lasted forever. Very heavy though.

To each is there own. My km2s where my least favorite . But for what I do bfg a/ts have never failed me. Toyo a/t and m/ts are my runner ups toyo makes the only mud tire I would use.

Slightly different tread patterns. I run Trail Grapplers and they do great in the snow, especially deep stuff. On ice they are about as good as you can expect a tire to be, which is decent

Look into the gy Duratracs. Reasonably priced
