Yeah I am a little hesitant to get an all terrain tire right now since I don't get up to the snow all that often...nor do I do a lot of off-roading. I wonder if the Michelin AT2's would work well for me? My buddy ha them on his SD and says that they are chunking really bad.
I had no issues when I ran the Michelin AT2's. I just didn't like the way they "darted" around in the fresh snow.

I have a couple buddies who swear by the duratrack tires, myself, I've had very good luckw ith the goodyear Wrangler Silentarmor. I see they now make something called the "ArmorTrak", but I have no expereince with those.
If you spend a significant amoutn of tiem on dry roads, or you run a single tire all year round, I think an AT tire with the mountain and snowflake symbol on it will be "good enough". A true ice tire, or a studded tire, will be superior in winter, but tread wear will be muct more on dry pavement.
You can check ou the reviews on the tire rack website, that gives you an idea of what's popular for your application. You can sort by different criteria.
Good luck.

i've looked at the MSR's in the past and they look very nice.
i guess i've never gotten them because some of the other brands were far less expensive.
let us know what you think of them in the icky stuff!

We had some good snow over the last day, and I was out playing in it today with my F150 and my Goodyear Wrangler Silentarmor's. I still like these tires. Probably not as much ice traction as a "true" winter tire, but very predictable, and seem to have decent grip even after they start slipping.
