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.
Thank you..We live on a little Platte that is only accessible by traveling one of two river systems then climbing one of the grades.The river roads get really icy and the grades icy and snowy.
All my other truck and camper combo's had appropriate tires from the local Les Schwabs..It was never an issue except for this truck and these Cooper AT#'s that came on the truck when I bought it.
I will have to make a change in tires one way or the other by next season.I will be looking hard at what you and the opp have posted about Nokian tires and the Blizzacks which get good reviews also.
