A slightly different tire question.

[sonnys]

I currently have 18" Hurricane rims with summer tires and 16" Mirage rims with no tires. I would like to get a tire in size 275/65/16 (or close to that size) that is essentially a snow tire, but good enough for some moderately difficult off road conditions (ie mud, rock, loose rocks, etc.). Then I could put the 16" wheels on in the winter and when going off road.

Any suggestions on a brand and type of tire would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Not really. Pretty much all winter tires are useless off-road, even deep snow. Go for the BFG AT if you want good winter tire that's excellent on road and can be pretty good off-road. But it does suck in mud. Trxus MTs are good in the snow and they're nice on and off-road. Or you could go for some MT like General Grabber, have them siped and studded and you'll have a great winter tire that's excellent in mud but has thin sidewalls for playing in the rocks. The problem is that no one tire can do it all.

I meant tire size 265/75/16 (or close) above.

TrXus MT is probably your best bet. The issue is that 265 is a pretty wide snow tire. Maybe go a bit narrower with the same overall diameter?
