lil late I know but I have 32" bfg at's on my toy. I noticed this winter that they kinda sucked in the snow and ice at 50 psi, I dropped them to the toy factory spec psi and holy crap they were like totally different tires, my truck felt like our outback in the snow. I'd be clear across the intersection while the car next to me would just be getting moving.

i have bfg allterrians they are good for street and the hard snow and pretty good for ice but if you get out in to deep soft snow they don't do good and another problem is that the snow stays in the groves and it is hard to get the snow out if you are stuck or things

i worked up at a ski resort and i ran 33 12.5 bfg alls on my 88 ford bronco and they did realy well wile everyone was chaining up i was on my way the whole time didnt have to stop and if i did when i started to go again i didnt slip or slide so overall they are a great snow and ice tire now for mud  :rofl2: they suck thats all i can say but for everything else they do very well well not so much with the rocks. the rocks take whole lugs out but they whold up good i weeled them at 8 psi and they did fine

BF all terrains in 33x9.50 work reall really well if you can stand running the pizza cutter size.  They even still float really well in the deep if you air down to say 7-9 psi.  I never lost a bead even running on 8" wheels.  I had a set of BF mud terrains in the same size and we drilled them for 2 studs per side lug and siped the crap out of the centers and they worked about as well as the all terrains.

I think it all depends on what SIZE tire your going to be running.  If your gunna be running something HUGE the 54 bogger would be my tire of choice.  If your going to be running a more average size tire such as a 39' or a 44' I would personally run the Pit Bull Rockers.

I was thinking of trying a set of the Pit Bull Mad Dogs.  They say they are excellent in the snow...

I have a set of Pro Comp MT 35s that work great in the snow!  Even better after I took a groover to the center lugs and stickied them up a bit...

I'd put a vote in for the Super Swamper TSL.
http://www.offroaders.com/tech/AT-MT-Tires/Super_Swamper_TSL_Radial.htm

Anything better and you'll have to go to an all-season which will suck for non-snow by comparison.

http://www.offroaders.com/tech/AT-MT-Tires/Firestone-Destination-MT.htm
These also are nice and cheap.
