    Really need to know the model and size before anyone can give you authoritative guidance (unless Riff has the time to research all the Yokohama options and rate each one for you, which he's been nice enough to do in the past) on quality, price, etc.

    Btw, time to get a new font/size for your posts... I feel like I'm being screamed at for my thoughts.

    Thumbs up General Grabber HTS 255/55R18

    General Grabber HTS 255/55R18

    Really a good, all around tire.

    BLUF:
    12/25/09 - Just a quick snow update on the General Grabber HTS 255/55R18 for $113 each @ tirerack.com

    These tires absolutely rock in the snow! They don't look to have aggressive-enough tread, bucking the conventional wisdom of self-clearing lugs, but these things are incredible when plowing, and even when stopping/starting on the ice.

    I have driven a number of different Land Rovers in the snow/ice with M/T, aggressive A/T, and moderate A/T tires. I have never had the kind of control I am enjoying in the VX on the 'moderate A/T' Grabber HTS. Much of the credit goes to the VX itself, but TOD, ABS and weight-over-the-wheels doesn't help you much when stopping on a sheet of ice. 'Only the tires save you then...
