I'm not firmilar with the tread pattern of that tire but get the center lugs siped and it will increase your snow and wet weather traction. Gerneraly speeking most MT's are not as good as AT's in the snow...

Not familiar with the Mud King tires, but one year I switched from Goodrich MTs to ATs in January and I can tell you that the ATs are WAAAAY better in the typical on-road, wintertime, slushy, icy conditions. On the other hand, when you actually go off-road in deep snow, the MTs are better.

I had 32x11.50 Mastercraft MT's (similar tread pattern to the Mud King) on my truck, and they were great in thick snow, but the wetter it is the worse they were. Ice is of course no good. I never really had a problem getting where I needed to go with them though.
