A little off topic, I put BFG AT KO's on my F250, and the snow traction is
100% better than the original Firestones they replaced. I have General
Grabber MT's 33x12.5 on my TJ, but they've been siped so they get pretty
good snow grippage.

Wifey's TJL came with 33x12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Radial MTX and they
absolutley SUCK in snow. Why the previous owner decided to get these
sorry-a$$ tires living in the Snow Belt is beyond me. Her minivan gets
better snow traction.
