Just remember to rotate them every 3000-4000 miles to get the most out of them! I run mine at 35psi in the front and 32psi in the rear, unless I am going to tow something heavy! I have 30,000
miles out of them and plan on getting many,many more!
I live at 10,300ft, I drive on snow 7 months of the year! I truely believe that it mostly has to do with the driver! As long as you have tread, 4WD, and the ability to drive on the snow you will do just fine! I drove them for two winters now and have never gotten stuck, but have pulled out over a dozen people! Just go to walmart and get some sand bags and throw them in the bed over the axles! And yes there are better snow tires out there, I am not saying they are they best by no means, I am just saying you will do just fine! In 2WD it is worthless on the snow! You will get stuck in parking lots! 4WD And you will be ok!

After about 10,000 miles on them you will start getting comments from your passangers; "are we about to take off??" Because it is pretty loud! Sounds like a prop plane about to take off! Big truck sound! I Love It!!

nitto? do you get so many miles out of yours because of the fact your on snow a lot and all that? i think they would wear a lot faster here in south florida being on the hot pavement all the time

The roads get plowed pretty good! So They have seen a lot of Pavement and Dirt roads throughout there life! It is just the side roads that have snow all winter, Like my road in the picture above!
