Thinking about it we had Blizzaks on our old Plymouth Sundance, they were very good too! The Coopers on my wife's Blazer are M+S ATxi Ice Claws.

I've ordered some Snow tires at the tire shop, he tried to sell me some "snow and mud" tires, but I insisted on pure snow tires.

The main reason is we got a 30 degree grade, 75ft long driveway, and you can't get momentum to make it up the drive, you usually spin out about 3/4 the way up the drive. It is really inconveinient to part down by the road and walk 100ft up the drive.

Anxiously awaiting the final report on how they are working.

meh, the snow storm hit by surpise, but I got the snow tires on the truck on Friday.

I've noticed I can go faster, got more traction, and the snow tires makes it up our hill without sliding sideways or spinning out.

The tire dealer only had Signet Winter Trax snow tires.

Exactly what I needed.

In ohio we can use steel studded snow tires from oct to may or something like that. meh, you can look up the law if you want.

I have a 93 ford aerostar (rear wheel drive) and it goes through everything and anything with those studded snow tires. My first year using them, my dad had them laying around and told me to try them, I was skeptical at first, but now I am a believer.
