Default MT tires in the rain

Anyone know how well the Toyo MT does in the rain, snow, ice?

Anyone know how well the Nitto Trail Grappler does in the rain, snow, ice?

Im mostly concerned about rain, as that is the most common road hazard. Snow and ice, maybe if winter ever comes back.

I have been running toyo mt's for about 3 years. I would say they are very comparable to the stock rubicon mt's in rain and snow, and better than regular BFG's MT KM (old style). We get lots of winter here so lots of snow days, I find the mt's as good as two different types of snow tires I have had on the wife's SUV over the past couple years. I think there are lots of reviews on this site, most very favorable as mine is.

I'd imagine the one with more siping would do better.

I have trail grapplers and they do good in the rain and snow. They are decent on ice as well
