another Snow tire thread
The 35 inch BFGoodrich MTs on my Jeepster aren't much fun on icy roads, but
are great for winter off-roading.
My wifes XJ is due for tires, and is 99.99% pavment driven. We bought it
this year with 31 inch dunlops and a 4 inch lift
I am considering BFGoodrich ATs.
What do you guys prefer , un-studded, for snow driving?

Re: another Snow tire thread
WE have BFG AT-KO's on my F250 and my wife's TJL. They were vast
improvements over the tires they replaced for winter driving. (stock for
Ford, Mickey Thompsons on the TJL) I recommend them, but if you are going to
stay mainly on pavement, Michelin or Yokohama might be less noisy.

Re: another Snow tire thread
AT's are ok for winter driving if you get them narrow enough.
We were extremely disappointed in the 'loss' of traction when we went
from a P225 to a P235 which has a wider tread. The wider tire spins way
easier from a start and starts 'floating' on the highway snow about 10
mph lower than the P225.
They are still ok, but....
We now prefer to run my CJ7 with it's 7.5" wide tread on the 33x9.5 BFG
Muds in the snow for trips. It has better traction than the BFG P235
AT's.
