Winter Tires
Wondering what everyones plans are for winter tires. We used the Forteras last year and i have to say i definitely felt safer in my g1 Durango for handling snow. Im in the process of researching better winter tires and think i may go with the new BFG T/A ko2's

im torn between these bfg's which i would leave all year round to replace Forteras or these, http://www.nokiantires.com/winter-ti...liitta-r2-suv/
nokian hakkepliittas which would be winter only of course, but not sure if they would provide that much extra traction to be worth the additional hassel and expense.
What are you using, whats the best?
and here are two wild winter photo's of the driveway to entertain ya

I'm in Toronto and bought Pirelli Scorpions for my first season last winter (I bought late and there was little inventory left. They work well). Biggest issue is stopping with OEM's or all seasons. It really wants to skate on a slick decline at this weight. This is my first SUV and I thought the AWD would suffice. Not at all. X-Ice are great but might not be worth the $$$ in an AWD. I have them for my 300C due to the RWD Hemi and it's night and day. Long and short, I'm a fan of the snows for our climate. The insurance discount offsets around 25% of the tire cost over 5 years if that helps to sell them over safety/hassle.
