I just updated the first post with AMERICAN AWESOME! Other lesser nations wish they had that kinda patriotism.

But those military tires are extremely hard, which is bad for winter driving, they become like rocks, don't want to grip anything. And with only lugs and no tread groves that run around the tire, and large spacing between the lugs, it's far from ideal for snow use, unless maybe you stud them. They might be decent on something light, but aren't they also bias ply and flat spot on anything with some decent weight? Also like I said, being a hard tire, rock use isn't a very good idea.
Not saying they won't make a great mud tire, it's what they are meant for, they will tear up mud. But as far as an all season tire, too hard, bias ply, no tread grooves around the tire.
With no center grooves and a big flat raised surface, along with raised lugs, on plowed roads that things going to be scary as hell, but like driving on a bald tire. Just like I can imagine they would be on a rainy paved road at a decent speed, just hydroplane. Not saying you can't make it work, just saying it will be far from ideal.
