sbryan - thanks for the report - sounds like a great trip
Hi jaycocreek -
In Alberta we call that a tire built from recycled bleach bottles :) I had Michelin XTS on a vehicle until nearly ditching it on 1st snowpack :) off they came in favor of Hakkenpalitta 7's with studs ... :)
The new generation of "all weather" tires - one of the early brands was Nokian - are popular in provinces in Canada that require winter tires in season. Lots of people fit them on lower mileage per year vehicles and leave them on year round as they are designed for that.
They do not wear fast in hot weather like ice tires do.
