The BFG All Terrains are much better in the snow then the Mud Terrains. The A/T's are even snow rated. If you're going for BFG's and want that aggressive look, but want performance too, go for the All Terrains. They also don't wear down as quick during normal road conditions, unlike the Mud Terrains.
Just my $.02

Just got a set of 235/75R15 LT Dunlop Radial Rover RVXT M/S and the snow hit. These things really grip. I really tested them on an uncut steep (~30 degree) road with about 4 inches of wet snow, and in 2 wheel drive. They were a lot lot cheaper than Bridgestone Dueller Revos and BFG ATs, etc. and were highly reviewed by guys on Tirerack, Consumer Reports, etc. They seem to deserve the

My 06 still has them. 22k miles now... and they are just as bad now as they were when new. These things are truely a horrible tire when it comes to snow and wet traction.
However they seemto do very well on wear and dry traction. It's a balance I suppose.
When these are wore down I'll be stepping up to a set of wheels and something better for all season use.

I was in the same boat as you guys.
I just sold my crappy stock banana skin tires (Contitracs--probab1ly worse than the Wranglers you are discussing) on craigslist and got a set of LT 235/75R15 M/S Dunlop Radial Rover RVXT tires just before the snow hit. These things really grip. I really put them to the test on an steep (~30 degree) road with about 4 inches of wet snow, and in 2 wheel drive. Made it up no problem, fishtailing a lot but hey, I expected to make about 10 feet and have to go back down backwards.
They are agressive but quiet on the highway, and were a heck of a lot cheaper than Dueller Revos and BFG ATs and were equally well reviewed. The tires are also great on wet roads, which we get a lot of here in Vancouver. I'm sure happy with them--feels more like a truck that's ready for anything. I guess I sound like some kind of advertising, but I'm jammed!
