I have the 255/55 r18 version of these tires. Excellent snow grip, but one tire is literally falling apart (chunking). All 4 will be gone soon. I bought the vehicle used, so I don't know what the previous owner subjected the tires to, but 3 look just fine and one looks like big dogs have been chewing on it...Originally Posted by webdog
The best snow tires I have tried are studless Michelin Alpin 4x4. Mine are 265/70/16. See my gallery (Snow tread). They work great in deep snow and on ice. The tread is about 8.5 inches wide.
Has anyone here taken a set of aggressive off-road/mud tires and had the treadblocks siped for snow use? I've advocated this process on other boards and was wondering if it had caught on here. In Alaska I ran 10" Mud Terrains during the winter -after siping the treads they were awesome (this was on a heavy F250). I've also siped all-season tires to get some winter facility out of them rather than toss them into the trash (small AWD car) -the results were well worth the time/effort.
TechnoPope -I think that I've seen you around town (by Nationwide last week) a few times. I'd like to meet up and take a look at your gas door -mine isn't seating correctly and I need a good one to look at. Oh, I live in Grandview too.
