One that rides far better than the Goodyear is the Michelin M+S which is also available from Sears as the XCT. Far better highway ride and capable of moderate duty snow. Where "moderate" is good enough to pull another glorified mini-van out of the snow up on Carson Pass in a California Sierra winter. The Pirelli Scorpion AT and the Michelin AT are also good considers. If you do much ice driving, the Michelin Ice may be worth a consider, but I'd recommend switching to the M+S for summer driving. |
