Tire/Wheel deals

Ok so it is that time to buy new tires, I was wondering if anyone had a good experience with a certian tire, I am a college student so any deals would be sweet even though 4 wheeling isn't cheap. I plan on running 33"x12.5"x15 on some 8" rockcrawlers with 3.5"backspacing, most likely going with an AT becuase this is a DD in snow so MT I have heard are bad in the snow? Any good websites to check out?
Thanks

tirerack.com for prices.... Then discount tire will match their prices and you get the benefit of free balance/rotation and warranty.

ok thanks, anybody out there drive mud terrians on a pick-up where there is snow as their DD, I have heard they handle like ลลลล but I am kinda stuck because for the amount of mud and gravel I do I think they would work better, anybody have any experience with this?

I don't have mud terrains on mine, but i run Goodyear MT/R's in a stock size. While last winter wasn't much, I have found that they are okay in the snow...not great on hard-packed snow/ice. However if you cut sipes into the treads I imagine that would improve. Good luck
