I know MANY guys who run them on everything from daily driver Cherokees, to giant CJ's, to built FJ60's and the tire retains good road manners, good snow performance, and excellent mud and rock ability... all in one tire.
That said, I've had BFG AT's on a few rise snow and the tire is just phenominal in packed snow and ice (ie. winter roads). It's alos a very capable offroad tire as long as you don't get into a lot o fmud.
The truck I just bought has a newalry new set of ProComp Xterrains which have a tread similar to the TrXus MT only directional. I'm optimistic about winter performance.

BFG AT meets 'RMA definition for passenger and light truck for use in severe snow conditions'. Tiresack also makes this point.
Revos don't. I don't see any MTs with it either.
Is this something BFG did for advertising value, or something the other tires could not meet?
MTs may get by in the snow, but I don't think as well as a good AT. Trade-off.

I dont know if your still looking for snow tires but I have heard good things about these green diamond tires. They have little particles in the rubber that provide grip on icy roads .

So green diamond basically stole Revo's design for their A/T, BFG AT's design for their C/T, and Pro Comp X Terrain for their M/T. Interesting idea for integrating grit in the tread though...

I've had my destination MTs in two winters so far.... up to 14" of snow... they ROCK! Plus they do well on any terrain from mudding to rock crawlin.... Highly recommended, plus tread wear is absolutely great... I've got 22000 on them and expect another 30000 before they get to the indicators.

I have found my MTR's perform well in the snow we get in the coast, which means like wet sticky snow. I don't really know how they would work in the dryer Alberta snow!! But good luck!!
