Heard good things about ride quality.... other than that seem like a "Grocery getter" tire....

I used to run 33x10.5 BFG AT KO's as my only tire.  I loved them.  Great on road.  Wonderful in snow and ice.  As far as mud went, I think you would be hard pressed to find a better AT tire for mud.  It is however not a mud tire.  My only complaint is the bead protector.  Tends to collect debris and result in bead leaks.

That said, a MT is always gonna outperform an AT in the mud.

MT  :D
Hockey puck in the winter though when cold and icy.... Ran the AT's and MT's have both now... both great but both serve a specific purpose.
