I don't know what tire to choose from. I need a tire that can crawl threw deep snow on occasions, mostly for traveling on snowy crowned roads in Maine. I plan to run a 265/70/17

 

Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S. Aggressive tread design that actually works pretty well year round.

 

What kind of tread life do you get out of those? I had some Geolandar MT's and they were good for about 15K miles.

 

I am putting a Set of Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor's on my wives Jeep. They have a snow rating of 10 and they come with a 50,ooo mile warranty. I have not had them on yet but after a lot of research this is the tire I am going with. P.S from NH and using to drive on NH winter roads. Good luck with your choice.

Problem you are going to have is that for DEEP snow, a M/T with big deep blocks works best. For hard packed snow and ice, an M/T is probably the worst choice. You want small blocks and a lot of them for as much tread making contact as possible with a whole bunch of sipes for grip.

So you really need to figure out where MOST of your driving in winter is gonna be and choose accordingly.

 

Might want to look at the reviews. They get pretty poor marks from people who use them on heavy trucks and good marks from people in lighter vehicles.

 

Firestone Destination A/T seems to get really good reviews and is tire racks #1 tire in the category. I'm in need of a couple of rear tires before winter as well and need to figure out what I want to get.

 

Guess I didn't pay attention to that since I am putting them on an SUV. I have the BFG' All Terrains on my truck and I love them. Went deep in the woods today and back out and did not have to turn on the 4wd once. Great off road, will wait for winter run to NH to see haw they handle in the snow.

 

Depends on the truck I've have the A/T-S tires mounted on. Yes, I have gotten 15 to 20K on my two diesel pickups at work that are pulling goose neck flatbed trailers fairly often. No other brand (Goodyear, Bridgestone and Cooper) as held up as well, although I've been told there is a Toyo model that is also very good at standing up to the torque. On a 2001 RAM D1500 with a 360 V6, I've gotten 25K+ with the Yokohama vs 20K with a Cooper Discovery AT tire on this vehicle. All these trucks drive a fair amount on gravel which doesn't help with tire wear. I will admit I still have the factory Goodyears on my new personal RAM.

 

I live in Alberta Canada. We get some serious winter. I was debating on some blizzaks.... But settled on some cooper zeon ltz for a year round rubber due to reviews.
