When it comes to snow, USUALLY solid lug tires suck. ( I put usually in caps cause someone is going to argue).

Tires that have siped lugs work best. Sipes being the thin cuts you can see. The sipes help the lug expand and grip better. If i was 2wd in the winter, BFG TA's all the way.

This guy above is correct. All three of those tires will suck in the snow. At's, and mt's are always bad in loose partical stuff. They simply Dig you deeper, not actually capture the snow and move you forward. Out of any AT the BFG AT TKO is the best bet, it use to have a deep snow rating.

You should be looking at a LTx M/S 2 if you want good loose partical traction
