what's a good snow tire i was thinking about KM2 but hear there not to good in ice and snow

My friends run 38x11.5x15 boggers and they go everywhere. Aired down to 3-7 psi. I have 37" MTR's I air down to 5-8 psi and they do great. No problems except in ice. if they were siped they would probly do better. And i have always heard very good things about IROKS.

i ran a worn out pair of iroks in teh snow last winter and they were by far the best snow tire ive ever used... i was so impressed i bought brand new ones, cant wait to try them in the snow this winter... 36x13.5x15 bias

What size tire are you after? What are the normal winter road conditions? Do you wheel in the snow, or just have to drive in it?

YotaTodd · « **Reply #7 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 12:11:24 AM »

33 or 35 inch tires. it is my 4x4 rig not my DD but i do driving it to where i go wheeling because i cant afford a tow rig. i want a tire that is pretty aggressive because I 4x4 in snow, mud, and trails but want a tire that wares better than a bogger or irok on the road

km2's about were its at or toyo mts. I would suggest iroks radials to but for how much your asking for probably the toyos will be your best bet. My friends had a set on his 83 for almost 2 years now with around 25k and their still going great do good in the sand, mud, trails, and really great on the road and snow.

my 33 BFG MTs have never let me down in the snow only my open diffs i find they work great in 3-7" of powder on the street. granted we have not seen that much snow in a few yrs $I\'m Down$

YotaTodd · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 01:12:46 PM »

i was thinking about SS LTB or TSL

I've done snow once, and my 33 BFG Muds (KM) did great. Better than some 37 Pro Comp Xterrains. I had a friend tell me Cooper STTs worked well and where quiet on the street.

I love my BFG MT's theyre the KM's but they are awesome. In everything except ice they are awesome. I would also buy the KM2's after seeing them in action. Im runnin 35s.

I was completely blown away by the performance of my 39.5" Iroks on the snow packed & icy streets last week! My fronts are over 1/2 worn out and the rear are 3/4. I had no issues with them. Stopping was amazing. My 4Runner stopped 2-3 times as fast on the slick streets as compared to my Honda Accord. I've heard the Iroks do very well for snow wheeling as well! I can't wait

creepy crawlers are $$$$, look like a great tire though

ha guys a couple of years ago i was in the market chasing after the almighty MTR. Well this was during the build up in iraq so the 37/12:50/15 not available!.the place that i had the order in with just sent me some interco/truxusMT after a very lengthy

i accepted their advise wow that thing rocks in the sno and as for over all out traction. Compaired to the MTR it has very good side wall traction on the rocks and after aired down the 12:50 size looks like a 13:50!

the same with my 31 BFG MTs. the only thing that let me down last time it snowed was the powerless, knocking 22re

I have ran these on 3 trucks now, (91 f-150, 85 toy, 97 GMC), and they do pretty well. I recently put some 33" Goodyear Duratracs on the toyota, and they are by far the BEST all around tire I have had on a truck for winter, hands down. I would HIGHLY suggest them. I will be putting these tires on every truck I have now, and they will be my winter tires for the toy.

I ran a set of 33" trxus mt's and i loved those tires.. Regret getting rid of them.

for snow wheeling now i have a set of 39.5" bald iroks and those things mash just about anywhere. I love those too.

Good to know, I've been hoping to get some good feedback on them
