I have to disagree. I love my MTs in the snow.

We were driving back from CT in a pretty nasty storm, even the highways had 2 to 3 inches of snow on them. Well, I wasn't about to go 20 mph like everyone else, I grew up in upstate NY and can handle the white stuff. Besides, I'm drivin' a VX! fer cryin' out loud!

I got in the "fast lane", and probably got up to around 45 or 50, visibility wasn't bad so I wasn't that worried about it. Then the outer edge of my driver side front tire caught the 10+ inches of unplowed stuff on the shoulder and the steering started pulling me off the road. I took my foot off the gas and held tight to the wheel, slowly muscle-ing back into my lane. She came though it like a champ, never slid, hydroplaned, lost control, nuthin'.

I was told that the larger the void in the tire, the better it will respond in mud or snow, because it is less likely to get caked up. I think the newer BFG MTs even have a little ridge running down the middle of the void to help clean itself out every rotation.

I have yet to take a VX pic with anything caked in the voids, and I've taken a few...







Like I said, I love 'em!
