The only other radial I'd compare to the MTR in those conditions are the new Cooper SST Pro or the Trxus MT's. The one knock I do have against the MTR is they do get loud.... but, they are on a jeep, that rarely has a top or full doors on it so I don't really care.
I HATED the MTR in show, jeep was all over the place even in 4wd

I have 37-13.50 cooper stt pro's I have no complaints about them so far except in ice, not much traction. Deep snow they work great.

Ice usage user ratings on the GY Duratrac=8.0
Duratrac=8.0
GY MTR= 6.2
BFG KO2= 8.2




In general MT rated tires are well known to not perform well on slippery snow/ice conditions, where an AT tire is known to perform much better. Most everyone seems to understand that except for a couple guys in this forum who seem to be in denial.
