Longevity wise they wont hold near as nice as long of other M/T's, and are u doing M/T's because u want a tire thats good in snow?

Anyone know how the Nitto Terra Grapplers handle in the snow? I am seriously considering these tires and the Cooper Zeon LTZ. Experiences anyone?

Xterrains, best tire Ive had for all around driving. Did good in sand, snow, in the woods etc.. They do pretty good in the mud too.

Ive never run the yoko's, but back when i had the G500, the mercedes guys and landrover guys loved them... however they said that on a daily driver you only get about 20-25K miles out of them..

The swampers are good.. Not sure how they work in snow.

Ive had grate luck out of BFG and good year.. I think my next set will be the new good year MT-R's When i ran the good year wrangler MTS i got 70K miles of them...
