Default another tire question...

I am looking to get a set of 35's and I can't decide which tire to get. I have been reading up on three different tires.

BFG KM2
GY MTR
Nitto Trail Grappler MT


What's important to me: I live in Michigan and drive in lots of snow. I want a tire that handles well for a MT in Snow. Love the Mud, Sand but don't do much if any crawling over rocks. Any advice would be appreciative. Thank you

I like the Mickey Thompson MTZ -- good grab in various conditions.
The wide grooves on true mud terrain tires aren't too good for most snow types.

I have the Nittos. They roll pretty smooth and fairly quiet on the road.

Off road they haven't left me hanging yet. Sticks to rocks.

I think they'd be fine in sand. I haven't had them in snow yet.

I would go with the trail grapplers. They do great on and off road and do well in the snow and rain as a well. Only con is that they are a heavier tire.

Anybody have any experience with the Nitto Mud Grapplers? What are the 35's measurements when mounted?

How do they wear?
