Thanks for the graphics. The inside tread pattern is for improved snow traction I am told. I was about to order the Nitto's until you bought these Coopers. Little beast swears by the Nittos and I'm running the Nitto although not the wider 285s now. Hope to get a couple more miles out of them and then take the plunge. Could save money with the Coopers and I like the tread pattern.

Appreciate the quick reply
