Tire thread
Calling for -5 on opening rifle season and has been snowing for two days(though it’s 35 now)
Heading into the Missouri breaks for opener and then mountains if we fill breaks cow tags.
I am seriously considering installing a set of bad weather tires.
I have a spare set of wheels with trail diggers by Hercules but only 3 and they are discontinued.
Recommendations for aggressive winter/mud?

Knowing what they are going on may help, as well as your load rating requirements.

Our ranch foreman at the grazing association lives out there(breaks) year round and runs Toyo MT's.
I might buy a set but heard they aren't the greatest on icy roads.

Chains if your vehicle can accommodate them. Lots of good mud tires, the most aggressive tire your local dealer carries is probably as good as any other. I tend to avoid mud anymore, I fought the gumbo and the gumbo usually wins.

Tires, and treads the more so are a comprise. Mud, and snow tread is not the same.
If off road is all you want as said, buy the most aggressive tread you can, be ready for lots of noise, and fast wear.

Mud probably isn’t going to be a problem this weekend. I’m throwing on my studded snows. Actually I’ll probably just put up the road in my SxS with heater blasting

This. I have Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx on my Land Cruiser and they have been the best mud/snow/winter/offroad/onroad tires I've owned. Get them siped too.

If available in the size you need, check out the Nokian WRG-4 All Weather tires. My wife and son run them and I had several sets before I decided to go with switching between Summer and Snow tires (which also are Nokian). All Weather is better than All Season and they will absolutely handle snow while also giving you good mileage and tread wear life.

+1 I've run these for a couple years and they've done well in snow.

Those would have better snow traction if they'd sipe them.
