"winter tires" I love them.
My drive home from work today was about 135 miles. TONS of thick fog and about 70 miles of 1" packed icy snow.
The road was wet from the humidity in the fog for quite a while. I didn't realize just how slippery the road was until I was going up a small incline around a bend and my truck went down one gear which broke the rear end loose and the rear tires decided not to follow the front tires. Yep, pretty slick.
My owner's manual states that when using the cruise control and slippage is sensed it disengages the cruise control, but it doesn't. Never has.
This is were winter tires are a huge advantage over all season, AT and MT tires.
Aggressive tires like MTs are great in deep snow but don't provide near the grip winter tires do on packed and slippery surfaces.
I am very please with these Michelin Agilis tires.
I have never bought tires because they last a long time.
I buy tires to serve a specific purpose and if I get a miles out of them well that's just a bonus.
I bought these because they are "LT commercial" with stronger sidewalls to help with the weight of my camper. Being "snowflakes" was a bonus for me.
