I am with Bill on this particular recommendation: to hell with Goodrich,
buy American.

Re: BFG AT's or MT's better in snow?
Jeff, I run 31x10.5's and have absolutely no qualms about my BFG
AT/KO's . I took into account the fact that the TJ is also my everyday
transportation, and was concerned about added highway noise and the
potential for lower tread life. I think I decided on the AT's since I
didn't need any of the additional strengths of the MT.

A/Ts are better on packed snow and ice. MT/Rs are better in really
deep fresh snow. You can sipe the MT/Rs and gain a little braking
power on ice, but it will not help your directional control any. I
found my siped MT/Rs to be scary in real world winter conditions
(commuting).
My solution is MT/Rs in summer, Dedicated snow tires in winter
(Yokohama Geolander I/T+). It is a _very_ satisfactory arrangement,
except for those in-between times when the snow melts and I want to do
a little trail stuff on those winter tires. Then it's hopeless...
Thank God for lockers ;)
