[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1563741, member: 31322"] If I lived where you do I would run a set of dedicated studded snow tires - Nokians- I have them myself unstudded (ordered w/ studs came w/o then added em after the fact & ultimately removed b/c I don’t wanna chew up my concrete driveway) BUT there is NOTHING like ripping around in a tuned Raptor in winter weather on studded 35” snow tires. The nokians are no dedicated AT- but they’re way more aggressive & competent offroad then a Blizzak or hankook icebear tire by comparison I feel nearly unstoppable in the the thing w/ this setup- last winter me and bunch of extended fam rented a ski house in northern NH, had a very long & steep driveway (35-40 degrees) that had been plowed but days before had hard packed snow & sections w/ ice patches. Subaru Forester w/ non-studded snows made it up but took 3-4 tries as it kept getting hung up on patch of ice middle of the way up- needed more momentum b/c just didn’t have the oomph once it stopped moving other than that- I had to individually tow up a Honda CRV, a Ford Explorer, a Jeep Liberty (these all were awd/4wd w/ all seasons) only other thing that came close to making it up was my cousins 2wd Silverado that had studded blizzaks & some sandbags in bed- he got like 3/4 of the way but the toughest section turned into ice so needed a boost from there Lessons learned? Snow tires > AWD on regular tires surprisingly most of the time. The Raptor > all else in stock form in the white stuff save MAYBE a Wrangler rubicon or something [/QUOTE]
