Unofficial Snoball 2015 - the beast is Yeti to come

[Hockster]

Will be running BFG KM2's for this run... Had them on my first truck and loved em...

I've been driving in michigan ice and snow for a long time..just never with off-road specific tires like the MT. ...

I have BFG AT KO2 on my F250 and they were OK in last year. not as grippy as I wanted on the packed snow or ice and just OK in fresh or deeper stuff. they packed up quick.

The way the MTs (and several others) don't have siping and spin easy on wet pavement made me wonder about an off road tire in the snow.

When I owned BMWs and put blizzacks or similar winter tires on them the grip was unbelievable. but the siping work is like the engraving on a fine shogun.....

all that said, i wondered if the flat non siped tread on our typical OR tires would be slick on the hard pack, ice and snow.

thanks for the suggestions

The mt would probably do just fine.
I think @BigBlue ran them last year with success.

I love my Toyo's they go through everything.

I would suggest the tires themselves are not as important as your thread life. Regardless of what you run, if you show up with rubber that's got 20% life left...your not going to be happy.

I do concur with Joe that Red letter Grabbers are poor snow tires.

Ive got a new set of Duratracs sitting in the garage. I am going to run the stock BFG's for a little while longer. Def have the Duratracs installed before Snoball.
