What snow do you use?
For those of us that need snow tires, which ones do you you use? Looking for some input as i am contemplating getting some this winter. I am currently using Michelin AT 2 but are poor in the cold weather.

What's "snow"? Is that the thin white covering I see sometimes in the middle off winter on my windshield... the kid of stuff you just sort of breathe on and it disappears? We call it "frost" down here in the deep south.

I have Mastercraft snow tires with studs, this is my second set and they work great. They have a ton of sipes and with the studs they get great traction. I run the a 265/75-16 load E, keeping a narrow tire really helps on snow and ice for road use. I know off road with bottomless snow a wide tire will help you float but these diesels are to heavy to ever float, That is what I have several snowmobiles for, floating on the snow.

No insulation on the fire wall, and I believe the windows were down/cracked in the bottom one.
Biggest thing is the lack of fire wall insulation.

When it comes to a snow tire with doesnt matter at all, just so you all know that. I dont know what the load rating on them is but I bought a set 2 winters ago because allterains suck IMO there ok at everything but not good at anything..... Yokohama Geolandar I-T G072 Tire Reviews (28 Reviews) I bought a cheap set of rims had them mounted there in my shed most of the year. When I lived in an apartment they always pushed the snow infront of my truck the pile would be 10 feet tall and id drive to the top of it just for fun... obviously Id sink down a couple feet but IMHO you cant go wrong with these

Stay away from this kind <img src="http://www.myemoticons.com/images/humor/bathroom/peeing-in-the-snow.gif" border="0" alt="Peeing In The Snow" title="Peeing In The Snow" />
Only thing I can offer is what I have experienced myself. The Toyo mt's do pretty well in snow, I would suggest something with a bit of an aggressive tread like the Toyo, something that will allow for good "clean out".
I don't travel in snow much, but a few years back, made a trip up hwy395 through Big Bear. Running on Dick Depek Fun Country II's and because of the tighter tread pattern, turned my truck into a 8800 lb sled
