Which 37" tires are you running and which snow tires do you have on the 18" OEM wheels?
Do you find the snow tire performance is night and day vs. the tires you are putting on now?
On my work van, I have Michelin Energy Green X tires for summer and Bridgestone Blizzaks for winter; I found the performance to be marginally better, but not worth the hassle of keeping a second set of tires in storage.

I do always miss 37”s in the winter though. Maybe some day I’ll find a 37” studded winter tire.

The muds are 37x12.5r20 Mickey Thompson’s. The snows are studded Nokian hakkapeliittas, OEM size. The snow and muds are night and day difference in the snow. If you’ve never driven on studded hakkapeliittas, you haven’t experienced the difference.

Thanks section179. You jinxed it. Woke up to a couple inches of snow here in Canada this morning.
I run studded duratracs in winter and throw the stock Michelin’s back on in the summer. I have an extra set of platinum rims with Michelin’s and then another set of Michelin’s without rims. I won’t have to buy tires for a long time. 👍
