My severe weather rated AT tires (general grabber at2) weren't bad in the snow. I got them studded and everything. I never got stuck. Never missed a stop sign line. They were great snow tires. That being said, my buddy runs a studded, dedicated snow tire in the winter months and they are hands down the way to go if you live up in the mountains. While my at's had no trouble getting me around, his snow tires turned his 4x4 into a sports car in a blizzard. Unreal traction. I don't doubt that the dura tracs do well in the snow, but if I move back up to the mountains, I'll be running dedicated snow tires in the winter months.
