I was wondering what the best tires are for snow?

Best for mud?

Best for rocks?

Best all around?

Best tires for snow are the D ick Cepek FC's hands down...I ran them (picture in my avatar) on my truck and i could go just about anywhere. I could also do better then my buddy with a locker and BFG M/T's. They are awesome snow tires. I couldnt tell you anything else, but i got my MT/Rs because Ive read they are pretty good all around.

Awsome in the mud eh? You have never owned a tsl have you?

I'll give another nod for goodyear MTR'S for all around and for the rocks. If there was some mud here in super dry so-cal, then my vote just might change.
Swamper tsl sx's like WT mentioned look like a bombproof tire for mud and rocks except for maybe the death wobble on the highway.

Yeah, Ive been running 36 sx's for about 2 years now. Just my

but I think they are the best all around tire out there. Im not too far from the con so I know they work in the rocks, there is tons of snow around here and they are great in the snow, and Ive never been stuck in the mud, so they must be awsome in the mud.....eh...My truck is a daily driver and the tires are wearing very well, I am not running a steering stabilizer and I have no death wobble at all on the freeway, If I let go of the steering wheel it evev tracks straight.

Cepeks for the snow hands down.

TSL SX are great fro the rocks I agree but the only drawback is there limited 38" size so I'll be running IROKs

AFAIC BFG MT is the best tire to use if you want pavement manners, and off-road performance. If you truck is aligned properly and a selectable locker you may even get good tread ware from them.

I ran ground hawgs on my Tacoma (which was my daily driver) and they are by far the best you could have. Some tires are good in deep snow and deep snow only, not ground hawgs deep snow or a hard packed road you will get more traction than any other. I live in upstate NY near Tug Hill, which is NY states snow belt. I'm talking about 18-26 feet of snowfall a year on average. Ground Hawgs are also better in the mud than any other tire I've ever seen.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 19, 2004, 07:26:14 PM »

Ill put your hawgs up against a tsl or bogger in the mud anyday. Hawgs are a good tire but the radials (38x15) dont wear worth shiz.

I had cepecks on my fullsize at one time,,what a crappy tire but they did do awesome in the snow..I snowmobile in the winter and was very impressed they way they did on snow covered roads..I have not had the irocks in the snow yet so cant say,,but reports that the irocks do very well..will see,,if the frigg;n snow ever falls,,WTF :bull crap:

for the mud its hard to beat cut boggers or even uncut boggers,,my irocs seem to do very well in mud on my runner,but for mud,,boggers all the way..To bad boggers suck on the ice and slimey chit..

SWAMPER · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 19, 2004, 08:39:39 PM »

Ok here Swampers

Snow I heard Capecks are good

Mud TSL's ( Love them so far

)

Rocks Id have to leave that one to the rock guys though TSL's are very good at it though

And all around Id say a light duty MT like BFG

I bought my first set of tsl's right after I turned 17. I would have bought them earlier but they would looked funny on my pinto wagon.....
