Just a wee bit of advice..... The next time you go mudding, attach the tow straps before you ever start!

My Ram is as close to a pavement queen as any truck I'll ever own. Have a Land Rover to do the serious off road stuff.

Are those BFG All-Terrains? I'm sure you figured out they suck in mud.

Yeah they're all terrains. They did better than any other non-mud tire i've had. They're not the best tire in mud, but they last so much longer and they're better in the snow that mud terrains...

BFG A/Ts are better on ice than most mud tires, not actual snow. If you're going through a couple feet of snow you want the same ability to self clean as you want in mud. I've run a BFG A/Ts over the years and the just pack with snow and you go no where. Now on ice all the extra edge it has over a mud tire helps. It's the edges of the tread blocks that give you traction on ice. That's why siping tires is so popular in places that get a lot of ice and snow, makes more edges to bite
