Ok so I have 33" mud terrains on my truck now and I just got some thornbirds from a friend for cheap...coming up on winter I was wondering, which do you think is better for the snow? And mud, of course. Bfgs have about 6/32" and thornbirds are about 10/32"....

Oh and by the way the thornbirds are 35's...fitment is not an issue

Hm are you looking for a cheap tire, Maybe you should look up the goodyear mt/r with kevlar got a pick of it in 1 of my albums, im not shure how it handles in snow, alot of reviews say it last about 60000 miles though

Oh one thing the good year mt/r with kevlar is not cheap, srry i worded that wrong

Yeah i've heard the same thing about the thornbirds. I wouldnt put them on my truck

Big lugs do not work well in snow/ice.

I think they would be equally terrible on snow... I've heard nothing good about Thornbirds other than they look cool.

Thanks for the responses guys! Yeah I've heard the same as you guys...the thornbirds look really nasty but seem like they wouldn't bite until deeeep mud...i will check out the Goodyear tires, thanks guys!!

Yup buddy of mine had thornbirds on is Stroke and they were impossible to balance. Never once did they not have some of a wobble to em.

Other big problem is that there is no sipping on the lugs to grip the ice and provide flex to bend. I have seen factory 30" Wrangler At's out preform those thornbirds in a foot of snow.
