Hi Mates,

Next week I'll go on a holiday in to France, the mountains. There will be a lot of snow. Should I fit my AT's or the muds?
Thanks in advance, greetz, knife

rule of thumb: at's for hardpacked snow/ice
mt's for deeper, loose snow

I would go with whichever are narower.  I went wheeling last weekend with a buddy with 10 wide swampers.  I have 235 M/T's.  He was having more trouble in the open snow than I was.  I've always heard that width hurts you in the snow.

Actually I'd like wider in the deep snow for more flotation. At the moment I run 10-12 psi in my 31x10.5's Muds but will try lower this year. There is another theory that keeping the pressure up gives more diff clearance in the deep stuff.

Ive run both the ATs and MTs for two winters each.  I prefer the MTs as they can handle more of a variety of terrain.  I found the ATs pretty useless in slush which is the worst driving condition as far as Im concerned.

So far I haven't had any traction issues with BFG AT 235's in any winter driving conditions...and we get some pretty severe conditions in Alberta...

Man we have alot of snow here in canada best tire is the BFG a/t Hands down drove a truck with MTR's and BFG M/T .

A/T braked acceled better and for handling there awsome .

I got a 92 sidekick and 235 75 15 BFG AT and i can go threw anything i drift it in 4x4 its sooo sick and i never have any probs on ice there good too.

But if u are a idot driver they will let go and u will crash on ice.
