    As far as I'm concerned, there is only ONE studded snow tire for the VX. I've put a set on each of my trucks, and they are amazing. See the TOD discussion thread later for photos of some stuff that I drive through regularly with mine.

    Nokian Hakkapelitta SUV, studded, size 255/60R18.

    I can's possibly say enough about how great they are. During testing (of the TOD), we had a very difficult time getting them to spin, even an very hardpacked snow and frozen gravel.

    I just put 31x10.5 studs on 15 inch wheels. Runs perfect here in Alaska!
    Cooper brand! American Tire store. Price is around $120 for 1 tire.

    I just realized that I had made a bunch of typos in my first post. I'll blame my fat fingers for that.

    A few guys that I work with use the Cooper M+Ss (with and without studs). They seem to do well.

    The Nokians were spendy, but they blow Blizzaks away -and they will undoubtably last longer.

    Hi Guys,

    You mean it snows in Saratoga Too ???????????
    LOL.....
    Up here in the boonies of Vermont I just run the stock tires...have for the past two winters and never a problem with traction or slipping. If you are going the studded route use the "Nokes"

    I'm running Firestone Destination M/T 245/75R16 with Studs. The traction is amazing. The ride noise is pretty noticeable, but it's a reasuring sound.

    There are a few pictures in my gallery.
