LTB's are too aggressive. Go with the Trxus MT's or M16's if you want Super Swampers. |

As in the tread will cause rubbing? |

The tread won't cause more rubbing than any other mud-terrain tire. LTB's are great for a trail rig that will be in the mud all day, but I assume you will drive your Jeep mostly on the street. LTB's on paved surfaces will be LOUD, have poor handling, and wear very quickly.

TSL Radial's are still too aggressive for street use, in my opinion... |

Last year we had a brutal winter here in Minnesota, and my M16's were GREAT in the deep snow. The only time I got stuck was when the snow was over my front bumper! I can't imagine trying to drive in anything worse, and would never need a better tire for deep snow conditions. However, mud-terrains typically don't perform well in wet/icy conditions. The M16's and Trxus MT's have some siping that helps in wet/icy stuff, and the TSL's do not. Something like the Goodyear Duratrac's would work even better for ice. |

Agree with waht was said above, most all mud type tires do real bad in snow and ice, solid blocks of tread don't do that good , thats why true snow tires have lots of siping. Duratracs have done great for me in the snow I have used them in |

I run Interco Trxus MTs 31x10.5x15 on 15" cragars. They're a good tire. If you're more into wheeling the Liberty in rocks and mud, I recommend this tire. If you really want a mud tire then get a set...but if you're worried about mpgs then get an all terrain tire... |

I drive on MT/Rs in the snow around here but I do acknowledge that UT is not known for it's terrain and snow like other parts of the country are. |

Go with Goodyear M/T R Kevlar tires. |

I drive 1-2 days a week in the Cascades on forest service roads. My DuraTracs have been great in the snow. So far, I've never gotten stuck and I've made it through some very icy areas. I've been very impressed with the tires |
