radak99 -> winter tires (6/22/2008 3:28:41 PM)

It''s the second day of summer, so naturally I have started to look for winter tires.  Actually, I just purchased a set of 16" stock rim to use as winter rims so I can keep my 18" H3X rims in the garage in the winter.  I''ve read lots of threads on people using A/T and M/T tires with good results in the winter.  Does anybody have any thoughts or suggestions for straight winter/snow/ice tires?

I was thinking Bridgestone Blizzak, Michelin X-Ice, Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV or any other dedicated winter tire.  I am assuming winter tires are going to be better in the snow and ice then any A/T or M/T tire. 

I am looking to have the best traction possible on ice, light snow, and deep snow.  I live in Saskatchewan and 5 months of the year we are covered in the white stuff.

Anybody got any suggestions?

I''m in Nova Scotia also lots of snow. I had Mickey Thompson MTZ''s on my old H3 and really loved them so I just bought another set for my H2 so I can take off my 20''s. They are really good in our winter enviornment and not that expensive.

Those definatly look good.  How are they on ice?  What size are they? 

I won''t be running them in the summer at all, would you still recommend MTs over winter tires?

Yes. They were 285''s

Good on ice too. They feel like you stick to the road
