    Yo World, I'm looking at new at's for winter because I'm NOT impressed with the Cooper's that are on there now. Was thinking about Nokian Rotiiva's. They were always great on my Subaru.

    the best winter tires are going to be a dedicated set of snow tires, if your looking for a good all rounder though I have to suggest mastercraft msr. I put a set on my father in laws truck last year and they are one of the best at's I've ever seen ( I have had alot of different tires bfg,goodyear,cooper,firestone,bridgestone,mickey thompson,dick cepek,interco etc)

    Sitting in a discount tire shop right now, having my wheels swapped out for the winter. Don't need tires just yet, but speaking with the manager, of all the tires they sell, he highly recommended the Bridgestone blizzak- a dedicated winter tire. Hope this helps.

    2nd Honda with them and after cruising around todays "Nor-easter" the Ridgeline never missed a beat...These things wear like iron and have NO ROAD noise..50k plus and still enough tread left to let my wife drive through whatever New Hampshire throws her way...;)

    I would enjoy my Tacomas new Grabber 2's to hook up like these BUT the Ridgeline will only see Michelins....:cool:

    I just had Firestone Winterforce UV's put on my truck yesterday. 265/75/16's P metric, load rating 114, so they are larger and higher load rated than the crap stock Dunlops- I suppose anything would have been an improvement. First drive through the snow on the way home was amazing, especially when going through lumpy, unplowed back roads with 6" of snow. Only needed 4wd to keep from going all the way into the ditch when avoiding oncoming traffic that always seems to drive in the middle of the road. $495 out the door.
