Anything BFG will work good, but you will pay for them. I would personally use cut boggers unless you plan on driving it on the road then leave them uncut.

I plan on using the new BFG km2 tires, when my TSL's wear out.

Chen Shin tires have been around forever. They are big in the motorcycle market. They came out with Maxxis a few years back as a premium line. So Maxxis are just top of the line Chen Shin tires, if that makes sense...

Maxxis Bighorns cost right at about half the price per tire as Maxxis Trapadors or Creep Crawlers and they are AWESOME off road and on road.

BFGs are definitely the "Nike" of tires. You pay about $50 more per tire than anything else because you buy the name. BFG Muds are great off road but, the 35s that I had on my Toyota starting coming apart on me after a trip across country on the highway.

Yes, I love the Trepadors but, they were too spendy for me. So far, the Bighorns have handled everything I've thrown at them. I haven't tried deep snow but, I'm looking forward to trying it.

I've shopped around, and the next set of tires for me will be the BFG KM2. The prices are very competitive, IMHO.
