My truck came with those... I can't really comment on their performance, as they were under 10%, lol... But they chunk and lose pieces above 120MPH... They were actually pretty decent, in the winter, lol. Fantastic fuel mileage with no tread left, lol.
That is on the General Grabber AT2s I run. They are damn good in snow.I wasn't a big fan of the BFG T/A when I had them, but I seem to be alone in that opinion
According to TireRack, the T/A KO2 are all "Severe Weather" rated (only some of the KO are) which is a step above the M+S rating. If you're heading in to the Mountains in February, I believe the State Troopers will be looking for snow tires.
M+S rating just means there's a certain percentage of open space in the tread, just about any tire you buy will have that rating. For snow traction you want to see the Severe Weather rating with the Mountain/Snowflake pictogram on it. Those have been tested to perform better than a baseline tire in the snow.
I can't tell on here.
Totally my fault, you slipped a post in right before me. I was going to give Dennis a hard time for his post, and shoulda quoted him.
ANYWHOOO, I ran the LTXs for years in PNW winters. In 4wd they do fine, but I gotta tell ya, there is no smoother, quieter, or longer lasting tire on the road.
Good luck, let us know what you decide!
If you need 4wd, to do fine, I don't consider them a good tire, lol. I probably would have liked them better if I would have had 4wd, lol.
Just assume everyone is busting Dennis's balls. He deserves it.[emoji38]
Go help Jeff with his siding
I usually do, too, but sometimes the wallet doesn't cooperate... Especially now that I have to buy 6, lolI don't know why, but I've always found it a necessity to help the little guy out. I always get my tires from an independent one man, father/son garage.
I would rate the Bridgestone Dueler A/P Sport on my wife's new CR-V as "passable" in the snow we're getting right now. Be easy on the throttle and they're not terrible in fresh snow, a bit of slipping on partially plowed and packed roads. Better than the summer biased highway treads on the old car.
If you're going to see a lot of snow time, I would go with the Nokian WRG3, but I don't think Alemeda gets that much

Alameda, Alamada, pie a-la-mode-a. I swear it took me a while to see how you spelled it differently than I did
I understand going with a big chain for possible problems down the road. I like to support the little guy too, but sometimes it's easier to have multiple outlets to call on.
See what Costo is offering, make sure to get all the details in the name- I think there are almost 20 kinds of Goodyear Wranglers for instance. Take that info to the Tire Rack website, see how the ratings are for each tire. Go from there.
