Obviously I don't run that size...but I swear by my LTX M/S2s in snow and rain. I love em. They roll well and have worn very well for the 16k that I have on them. Not that great in heavy sticky mud but that's not they're intended use.

Sure they're expensive but with a 70k warranty its worth it.
They get my vote!

Thanks I thought you ran them with the tuner i need some bite in the wet

the Silent armours give to much spinning in wet conditions
For winter run snows.

With the tuner the M/S2s will break loose. But the rest of the wet weather handling is pretty confidence inspiring. I would have loved something more aggressive but these are honestly the best tire for my needs.
