Default Need Help Choosing New Tires!

Alright so here's the deal...I drive a 96 Blazer LS which is stock. I've been kind of looking around for new tires but really just can't figure out what would work best for my needs. What I'm looking for is a tire that will be good for on/off road use. I need a tire that does good in the snow and can do decent in mud too. I'm keeping my blazer stock height for now and keeping the stock rims (which are 15x7's?) Any suggestions/advice would be a huge help. Thanks!

as you can see in the pic below, my tires can't get a whole lotta traction in even the saddest amount of mud...

I just put some new sprer swamper Trxus sts all terrain's on my 98 ls, they are 29x10.50, they will fit on your stock wheels, but i changed mine out for some pro comp rock crawlers, the tires are wonderfull, i was in mud up to my frame the first day i had them i tried them out, they are awsom, i didnt get stuck or have any problems, not sure about the snow yet but i am sure they will do great, i have some pics in my pro if you would like to see the stance with my combo. 4wheelparts.com you should be able to get them for like 550 or lesswith shipping included

So Houchins....did you have to do anything to get them to fit? also I saw in one thread wear you were talkin about rim size and said you wish you would've gone with 7"s instead of 8"s....I was just wondering why.

oh and kgkern...once you get your tires i'd love to see some pics. I am really considering going with the Grabber AT2's. Also tell me if you have any problems with rubbing, etc. thanks everyone!
