BGF A/T had so much traction it felt like dry pavement in the snow and was really good on ice, I'm pretty sure the rubber compound on them has been changed recently as others didn't like them in the snow but from a while ago.

I got some kal-tire specials put on "Wild Country"
it say on em, I was hesitant but needed tires bad.
They are M+S tire.
Ends up they were the paws of a mighty snow panther.
Very good in the snow.
I did drive very carefully unless I was in abandoned parking lots,then I had a blast!

Right on! 8-)

Agreed....I've said it once, I'll say it again..BF Goodrich A/T's are BY FAR the best snow/dry pavement tire I've ever had. They are simply AMAZING in the snow and nice and quiet on a warm sunny day

I have always been a Cooper fan.
VW Van, Hyundai Elantra, well like everyone else who has multiple cars.

I just took off the ones on this unit I got and put on Cooper ATS
235/75R15's. I love them so far. Going to take them out onto the
lake this afternoon and try getting stuck. Impressed with the low
road noise so far too.

Anyone else do that? Try and get stuck? Well within reason.
