One tire to do it all - snow and offroading (1 Viewer)

[supdizzle]

Either general tire ATX or Nokian Rotiva AT Plus. After much research living here in Boulder, CO. Those two came out on top for me. I have had both on my rigs. Rotiva's on my 100 and Generals on my 200.

Geolandar GO15 do very well in snow and over all off road including sand and moderate mud, if you intend to do rocks, get the LT version.

Duratracs can perform well in the snow.

After half a winter in the Winter Park area, I am very happy with the Wildpeaks. Extremely surefooted in the white stuff. This summer will test out the offroading capabilities of these tires, but I'm very pleased so far.

General Grabber AT/X

I have 35 12.5's on my '85 pick up. They hook up like a cat on velcro on the snow/ice covered roads/highways of Canada.

Just about anything that has a desirable pattern as a highway winter tire is going to suck in a mud or off-highway deep snow scenario if you need the lugs of a mud terrain to clear out the mud or snow.

GO15 truly does it all and manages to outlast most.

I have Cooper Discoverer AT3 LTs (LT265/75R18) in C load rating. They have the 3Peak designation. They are wonderful in the rain. In loose and lightly packed snow they have been good to great. On hard pack they are OK and when they do break they do so predictably and are controllable. As might be expected they are poor on ice. As a result and given the propensity of the roads to ice up here in the PNW I'm looking into studded winter only tires. One too many pucker up moments on a couple of drives over the past week for me not to invest in second set of rubber for the winter months.

I have had success finding good deals on mounted winter tires on Craigslist. I got a set of practically new Blizzaks on pretty nice rims for my GF's 4Runner for $700, and some studded Hancooks with lots of tread on Sequoia rims for my 100 for $600. Just a thought to maybe check your area, since it seems like people trade in vehicles and then sell the extra set of tires really cheap since they have no use for them.
