Question on the Cepek FC-II and Nitto Trail Grappler tires: Do these tires specifically say that they are "M+S" or have the little snowflake or mountain symbol on them indicating they are winter rated tires? I've been looking online, and can't find that answer.

I doubt either have the snowflake on them. I had the Nitto's and they were damn good in the snow, but bet a full on snow tire would offer a better overall winter experience than the Nitto's.

The snowflake probably has something to do with the rubber too. Not just the tread design.

Oh, I'm sure both tires are extremely capable, but it is law in Germany that all vehicles on the road are equipped with rated tires during Winter months, either the "M+S", mountain insignia, or snowflake, certifying they are, at the least, all weather tires.

I have the Bridgestone Durler Revo 2 and they are awesome I use them for hunting great traction quiet an aggressive. I recently had to slam on the brakes before I would of eaten a jetta an I stopped on a dime. I will be buying these forever. Already have 27k on them at 1/3 of use.

The stock Michelins that came on her were a joke- lasted 17,000 miles. Have had a few sets of Firestone Transforce A/T, liked them the first time, but this set seem to have really poor wet traction. I run Hankook RW 11 snows on rear, and Bridgestone Blizzak Snows front in winter, and Will get a set of Bridgestone Duellers next, but need the E load rated ones, as I run quite heavy- scale over 8,000 lb most days.

HAve run Toyo open country ATs, BFG AT KOs, and of course the rugged trails. Love the Toys they never let me down. The BFGs ran a bit better off road but not as well on the snow or wet. I would buy either the Toys or the BFGs again.

The rugged trails are surprisingly good but are lacking in mud and sand. They are nice enough as a stock tire that I go ahead and put at least 20 or 30K on them before I replace them (although I could likely get 50 or 60 if I pushed it).

I am switching to 35s and only have two choice that come any where close to the load rating/inflation pressure the truck wants. That is the General Grabber and the Toyo open country MT. I switch almost daily, but it looks like the general is ahead right now. I still have about 6 months before I pull the trigger though.

I've had numerous tires over the years. Currently, I'm running Goodyear Duratrac's and they are great as a (very aggressive) all-terrain. They are also considered a commerical tire too, they they look great (if you like side lugs etc...). I'd say they are borderline mud terrain yet still have siping and do surprisingly well on ice. I've had plenty of standard mud terrains before (General, Bridgestone, BF Goodrich etc...) and they sucked on ice. I had siping done on my Bridgestone Dueler MT's and that helped a lot, but hardly any tire shops do siping anymore, and it still wasn't as good as my Duratracs. I will definitely be buying them again. I like a very agressive looking tire and have owned MT's since the early 1990's when about the only one with lots of side lug tread was the Mickey Thompson Baja Belted (the good ole' Bias Ply) long before the Claws ever came out. I first saw the Baja's in the highly successful 1990 movie "Tremors" (come on, you know you have it in your VHS collection).
