Tires for Pacific Northwest snow?
Also posted this on the 67-72 message board...
I've lived most of my life in the great Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, northern California) and much of our snow is wet, heavy, sloppy, and very slick. Add hills and corners, and it can be quite treacherous, and IMO much worse than the dry powdery stuff found in the midwest (lived there 5 years), and the Rockies (yup, been there too). Anyway, there are lots of new tires out there and I wonder what people like and don't like for wet snow. I'll be putting new tires on my K20 (for year-round use, not many miles driven) and on my wife's Grand Cherokee (might buy extra wheels for winter only) this year. I'm considering BFG All-Terrain T/A KOs for both rigs, but just had two tire guys tell me they aren't great in snow (sure look great, though). Recommended tires are Bridgestone Winter Dueler and Michelin LTX M/S, which looks just like a highway tire!?! I appreciate all thoughts and opinions - the more the better! Thanks, guys.
