Best tire for driving Alaskan Highway

Soren.... Going to Alaska I would not be without a firearm on my person anytime I was in the bush. Too many meat eaters running around up there to be unarmed and I don't want to be a bear's snack.

I have a couple pictures of bear attack victims that are way too graphic for this site. Believe me, Bears are not neat and fussy eaters.

Tire wise, I'm sure my Michelin's would do just fine.

Spent plenty of time in bear country, wouldn't think of bothering with a gun. Reality is, you need to have a hand canon, a typical light to medium caliber hand gun is just going to piss them off. Second you would need to be a really calm, talented and well practiced shooter, and evidence shows that most guys who think they are great at the art of shooting do pretty poorly when it all goes wrong. Ever see the stats. on exactly what happens when a typical cop draws and fires in a high pressure situation? Usually a lot of lead flying, and very little, often zero, hitting the target. If you are really scared, get bear spray and learn how to use it, it's proven to be a lot more effective. Since you can't take a gun through Canada, most folks end up going the bear spray route if they think it's a need.

As for tires, just about anything that's black, round and full of air will be fine 99.999% of the time. I spent four summers driving around AK, and the Yukon without a single thought of "are these tires good enough" and had zero issues.
