My daughter is considering these tires for her sedan. We're checking to see if they come in the right size for my son. A buddy just got some on his 4WD SUV....very pleased with them. I'm in Winterpeg...and you know we're renowned for our hard winters.

The idea of a off road 2 WD with locking axle was developed in desert racing, such as the Baja 1000.

High ground clearance, oversize tires, locking rear axle were the focus points of these trucks.

They first used this concept (as far as I know) on pre runner trucks that would make fast full course runs down the rough race route on the Baja years ago.

BTW...my son has driven his truck through 5 years of 5 1/2 month winter per each year, without getting stuck....300 lbs of sand bags...high ground clearance, oversize tires and locking axle...do the job.

We live in a Canadian city that has the dubious distinction of being the coldest city in the world with a population over 600,000...with all the attendant winter, ice, etc. that comes with that.

Winter driving in extreme traction limited conditions, for many here...is a well developed necessity.

Off the top of my head.

Some sizes of the BFG A/T KO
Goodyear Silent Armor
Goodyear Duratracs

I'd personally pick the Silent Armors. The Duratracs are outstanding in the snow,but are probably more aggressive than you want.

Siped BFG AT2s for the truck. I have been using all season radials for my cars for years. We get tons of snow and ice, but our roads are pretty well maintained.

Have you looked at tirerack.com yet?
