My AT's took me around town all winter in 2wd...a necessity with my toasted front pinion bearing.
and ask anyone who was at Fairbanks Creek with me how they do in the snow.
I'm noticing tread chunking in the left rear...but I THINK that has something to do with the scuffs on the sidewall as well. :p They're kind of noisy, but I can barely hear them over the wind/engine noise. I hear Bridgestone REVO's are comparable offroad, on ice and snow, and are alot quieter. they're also about 60-80 a tire more expensive. :O
As for mud, they're hit or miss. On wainwright I had them down to 15 psi and took a muskeg trail...the first part was kinda hardbottomed with water up over the tires, and I had no problem. The second part was thick black mud up past my hubs, and it slowed me down but I was able to power through. I stopped forward motion once, but I just backed up a bit, then hit it again making it through. No turning around out of the ruts though...forward motion only until I hit a dry spot island so I could turn around.
The General Grabber AT2's are the same tread pattern (or very close) and rubber compound, and they're studdable. Also more expensive.
