Let's talk tires....
So, currently have an '09 Rubicon...currently running the stock tires. I will be moving to Germany this summer and I was leaning towards switching over to BFG A/Ts because I definitely won't be doing much offroading there. Want something a bit quieter on the roads and something that is still good in snow. Where I'll be going will have a fair amount of snow in the winters. I've heard comments on how much the KM2s suck in the snow and how A/Ts suck in the snow.
What are your opinions out there? Stay with KM2s or move over to A/Ts?

I have run both in the snow - the BFG KM2's and the AT KO's. The AT's are obviously better, but I was still thoroughly impressed with how well the KM2's did for being a mud tires with almost no siping. The key, in my opinion, is keeping the tire reasonably skinny. I have found that 285's seam to be a good width... much more and you do more skidding/plowing/floating in the slush which is a hinderance for on road driving.
In the snow/ice, the more siping the better. You can have tires siped at several tire places, which would make the mud terrains excel greatly.

I have used my Duratracs in a few snows this winter and they are really good. I just don't like the BFG AT. I have had them on full size trucks in the past. For me they awful in mud and not that great on wet roads. Good in sand and snow.
