There's NO point of voting for the Toyo's anymore b/c they dont even have my tire size. The closest they have is 37/12.5/17 which is too big. I am either going to go with 33/12.5/17 or 35/12.5/17, but most likely 33s

I know that 35s will have a slight rub on stock suspension, but will 33s be fine with stock suspension?

I removed that option for you.

I vote for the T/A because it's the only tire I have any personal experience with in the snow (except for the REVO's and they don't come in 33's, yet).

Having said that, those nitto MUD Grapplers look really good.

Are we talking busting through drifts on old logging roads or snowy highways? If it's busting through the deep stuff I'd go with a wide tread, either a BFG AT or MT. On the road I would go with the BFG AT, it's going to be a great all around tire for you.

Actually can you revise that whole poll. A lot of those tires dont come in the size I need, get rid of both the BFG's, Procomp Xterrain and Nitto Mud Grapplers. 33s will be the biggest I will go with. Let me know if the 35s will clear stock suspension though.

Here, these are the only ones I will get:

PLUS WRANGLER MTR, which is 305/70/17 and will also fit

definetly a little bit of both. The BFG's dont come with 33s and 35s I dont think will clear on stock suspension and I am NOT getting the 2" spacer

Nothing I have tried so far can beat o'l reliable BFG all terrains in 315/70/17 when it comes to snow and ice. Nothing short of studded tires of course.

You didn't even add one of the best all-around snow/mud/offroad tires on your list: The Interco TruXus M/T! They are an agressive mud design but actually have siping. Everyone I know who has a set raves about them in the snow.

You can get the BFG in 285/70-17, which is roughly equivalent to a 32.5" tire.

Having had a dozen 4 wheel drives over the years equipped with various makes of tires BFG' All Terrains have been by far the best in the snow and ice!

I have Swamper TSLs on one truck, Nitto Mud Grapplers on one, and BFG A/Ts on one, and Pro Comp Xterrains on another. The TSLs and Nitto Muds might as well be drag slicks on ice. Deep snow they're good. Having had about every make and tread of all terrain and mud tire, I will have to say that the BFG A/T is the BEST tire on ice and light snow that I have ever had.

I will second the 315 BFG A/T. They will fit with stock suspension as that is what I have on my truck and have used on all the trucks I have. They wear well and have good road manners also. The only thing I have found wrong with them is they pickup little rocks other than that I have nothing to complain about them.
