I'd go MT/R, with the KM2's a close second.

i grew up in windsor across the river from you... KM2s will not handle well in the snow unless you get them sipped. i cant comment on the kevlars but i do run the Toyos and havent had one complaint in any climate/off road surface.

I have the MTR's with Kevlar in a 35" on my Jeep and in the sand they had no problem at all in the sand dunes here. With them aired down to under 10lbs I never encountered any problems with them diging in and getting me stuck or anything. I have both the KM2's on one Jeep and MTR's on my JK and the MTR's do a much better job in my opinion. In the ice my KM2's make me nervous the way they handle, but not sure how the MTR's K's are on the ice till sometime this winter coming up.

I'd consider the Pro-Comp Extreme mud terrains! They're on buy 3 get one free from 4wd.com with $60 shipping! I just ran into a guy that had them on his Ram 2500 Diesel, and he liked them better than his KM2's that they replaced. As far as their winter handling, this particular guy snow plows with them on, and said they are fantastic. He sold me on them. Those are what I'll be going with, myself!
