Re: BFG AT's or MT's better in snow?
I was doing a trail once about 8 inches of fresh snow with my AT's. They
packed so badly, I could barely get my jeep to move. A freakin Geo tracker
blew by me and he flipped me off.

Re: BFG AT's or MT's better in snow?
Jeff:
I have 31 x 10.5 x 15 BFG All Terrain TA's on my '02 TJ. They go great in
the snow.
Check out front and rear view photos of the TJ in snow up to the axels. Went
right through, with no problems. Was hard packed, frozen dirt under about 8"
to 10" of snow. No other vehicles had been on this road before me, so I made
LOTS of tracks (heh, heh.)
alt.binaries.pictures.autos.4x4.
See "Jeep TJ snow front" and "Jeep TJ snow rear" posts which I just sent.
Sometimes winter IS fun!
That being said, I do believe that BFG MT's or Goodyear MT's would go better
in deep snow, although I have no experience with these tires to back this
assumption up.

What kind of trail were you on that you encountered a Geo Tracker?
Sure it wasn't a mall parking lot or something? ;)
