whats the best mud tire in the snow?

Agreed.

Want to buy mine?

 

Our Jeep came with KM2s. Good for snow driving, horrible for winter driving. Most of my winter driving is on ice, half paved streets, hardpack etc. Very little of my winter driving is in loose powder snow. The KM2s are great for snow driving, but that's about it (for winter).

Put Duratracs on the Jeep and exact opposite of the KM2s. Way better for winter driving, a truly day and night difference. For actual snow plowing, I give the nod to the KM2s, but 90% of my driving in the winter isn't through the snow swept vacant industrial lots (aka 4x4 terrain in the city).

Taco now has Duratracs on it based on my experiences with the Jeep. The KM2s have no siping and is basically a hockey puck to drive on. The Duratracs are siped (and provisioned for studs) and you can really tell the differences.

Duratracs by a long shot for my winter driving conditions.

 

Don't the Jeeps come with KM's ?

 

You would be correct. http://www.quadratec.com/products/92619_004_07.htm

My vote is still for the Duratracs.

 

How do Duratracs keep coming up? They are not a MT.

I own a set of Duratracs and KM2's for my Tacoma. I bought 2 totally different tires for 2 totally different uses. KM2's for wheeling and Duratracs for driving on road.

 

Firestone Mts are what i run, never had a issue with snow or slush, work great in the thin stuff and even better in the thick. they are also pre drilled for ice studs.

 

I had both the Hankook MT and the Firestone MT. I was satisfied with both in the snow.

 

DuraTrac

 

You know, I've heard a lot about how KM2's are supposed to be bad on ice, but I have yet to notice them being any worse than any other tire on ice so far. Winter is still young though. haha

 

Hope this helps... This past weekend my buddy and I decided to go skiing in in our local backcountry, the road had not been closed off and there was about a foot and a half of snow at the end of the road. When we arrived there was a Chevy stuck in a snow drift, so my friend (he had a Chevy 1500 with 265/70 duratracs) attempted to pull him out, and he dug right through the snow and promptly got stuck. So I hook my truck up to the other Chevy (I have cooper st maxx 235/85) my truck didn't even spin the tires when I pulled him out.
I will post up some pictures

 

I pulled this guy out also and had no problems.

 

Kelly Safari TSR?

 

I think you are referring to my picture, cooper st maxx

 

I had to drive the work van up into the snow covered hills today. I had BFGoodrich AT KO tires put on a couple weeks ago. It managed to claw it's way up the hill just fine. That was only two inches of snow on top of a paved road, but considering it is a RWD with open differential I was sufficiently impressed.

I plan on getting Duratracs for the Tacoma, but the wife's Blizzaks are wearing down and will need to be replaced first.

 

Oh, somehow I was completely oblivious to your first post. I only saw the picture.

 

pulling out rednecks with lifted trucks, best way to kill their ego

 

I pulled out a bunch of rednecks boys from Carson Shitty with my Tacoma last week and they went the other direction, super impressed! Told me how surprised but proud they were of my truck haha.

 

Have you ever had traction problems with 35's?
