    Or any AT tire for that matter.

    Yea I run Nokian Hakapaellita's and carry Maxtrax and dream about DCLB's with a stock rear locker BUT this company has DISRUPTED and eliminated the need for a defroster button on our beloved Tacoma's.

    I love the tie in from A/T tires not being winter tires to this being a thread about magic no frost window coatings...

    Such a logical progression.

    If you look carefully at the BFG Snowflake you will discover that it has one less point on it than the officially sanctioned snowflake

    I agree, i'm runing BFG AT ko all season long, i live in North Québec, Canada so we have rought winter here, lot of snow and ice and i can confirmed that BFG AT ko are not "winter tire" but they are "approved" for winter, they will also do the job, not like a real winter tires but they are ... ok.

    They suck on icy road but are good on snow.

    but you need to be on 4x4 all winter long tho ;P
