The BFGs probably won't be any better in wet, icy, or hard packed snow conditions, but you could have them siped to improve them. Off-road, and in deeper snow, the BFGs should be worlds better than the Silent Armors. I barely notice the BFGs on my Jeep on the highway, so far they have performed just as good on-road as the stock Goodyears, which never gave me any issues. Haven't had the BFGs in the winter yet though.

Or you could change tire size (if allowed) and this could open up options
What happened to your JK to consider the SA crappy? They do not excel on any ground but I think they are a good all-around tire ...

You could order to tirerack, but you have to check well with them in order not to get killed with shipping costs. You also need to consider customs costs (if any) and the fact that often US tires do lack the EU homologation, I do not know whether this could be a problem in Turkey or not

I've had the BFG MT's on 2 different vehicles. In the rain and snow they are the worst tires I've ever driven on. I have the silent Armors now and they are way better. I just put Goodyear Wrangler Dura Tracs on my JK and they are even better in the rain, haven't had them in the snow yet. Could your tire pressure be too low? They should be a decent all around tire.
