if ya dont mind spending the extra $200 id say the 1st package would be better because of the ground clearance.iv never driven in snow with mud terrain tires but my dad has & he hated it

I wish i could get them again but theyre so expensive at les schwab they quoted like 1800 bucks just for the tires alone so im trying to find the closest thing to them

haha... bald tires suck all together in any conditions...

I bought my wheels as a package through wheelzoneonline.com i think out of North Carolina... I saved a few hundred bucks even with the shipping... The guy that put my order together was very personal and knowledgable... He even tried to find me a better deal with packages in stock... worth a try...

My BFGoodrich a/t's and m/t's lasted forever, but cupped and were out of round quickly and they cost a lot too (won't buy again)... And my Mud Dogs where good off-road, but they wore very quick (won't buy again)...

Good luck man

I used to run 37's Dick Chepeck bought them at Les swab. They were very good aggressive tires. Also try finding a Les Swab in a small town....my brother got his 40's for $900 cheaper by driving to a location 140 miles away
