best tires for icy and snow coverd roads ?
Okay guys sorry to start another tire thread but its seams all the other ones I looked at were about mileage
So deer season is coming up quick and with that around hear comes unplowed icy roads and the tires I have now suck in snow ?
I would like a aggressive looking tire but still grip very good on snow and ice
Thanks guys

I like my Goodyear Duratracs. They have a 10 rating for snow. They seem to be wearing good on the highway after about 4k miles. Ride is good and road noise minimal. http://www.discounttire.com/product/tires/gdyvl6.xl.jpg

I ran the Hercules Trail Digger MT last winter and this summer. I really liked them on snow and ice and they have the pre drilled stud holes in them also.

It also depends on the kind of snow All terrains I think work the best for ice snow it's kinda hit and miss sometimes you don't want to dig and ride on top of the snow. Snow is kinda like sand if I start diggin too much I let air out of the tires but if you have no way of airing back up kinda sucks driving back into town with low tires. My BFG M/Ts did alot better in the snow than the Toyos I got now though

With over forty years of driving in ice and snow conditions for 6-7 months out of the year, I've been with Coopers for years now. Having lots of pickups, and quit a few cars in that time, the Cooper Discover has given me the best traction in the winter months (studded and unstudded) and a quit ride in the summer months. The siping works great but does shorten the tread life a little. I get around 50K miles to a set (even with about a third of our roads up here being gravel). I've used just about every major brand out there and Cooper has always performed the best for me. They ain't monster truck pretty or moncho, in some peoples opinion, but they work for what I have to deal with every year!

I had Cooper Discovers on my truck last year. They were bald and I was going places no one else could go and pulling them out on my way through. Here in PA we had a bad winter. The coopers are about 200 a tire i found. I got about 60000 out of them. I went with Yokahamas Geolanders this year Just because of price. Looking forward to trying them out this winter
