i have BFG all terrain T/A KO's on my truck and they did really well in the snow last year. everything from heavy snow, slush, bare ice, thick muddy slush,packed snow, etc...

they are very heavy though, treadwear is unacceptable at best, and way too expensive to be replacing every 20,000 miles.

i'll definitely be looking for something else when the time comes to replace them, i'll also be going back to stock size, as the LT 285/75/16's are absolutely destroying my gas mileage with stock 3.55 gears.

The last 4x4 I owned a put a set of BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A's on and absolutely fell in love with 'em. Had them on a '98 Jimmy, which is like a go-cart compared to the Ram, and I could get through 20+ inches of fresh snow on an unplowed driveway. When the roads shut down up here in Vermont from snow I still always made it where I had to be. If you get a set just make sure they are severe weather rated, it has the snowflake on the mountian symbol marked on the sidewall.

I'll stand by my Cooper Discoverer S/T's that I bought 2 yrs ago. Only thing I havent really tried is mudding with them but otherwise they are great tires. I dont know about those Dynopro MT's, I dont see any sipp's in them to be gripping effectively on ice and wet pavement.

I've also heard alot of bad stories from people who have owned BF Goodrich A/T's, they didnt like the way they handled on wet pavement. But, since I never owned a pair ( street radials I swear by ) I cant make a judgement.
