    Congratulations ... the NWT is beautiful.

    I'd recommend Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2s

    Thank you. I am actually considering this tire for the coming winter.

    ^^ @USPfan - I live in Northern Minnesota. Not quite NWT, but the winters are brutal. I also changed out my front/read diff and transfer fluid with Amsoil Severe Gear. The Severe Gear oil has a better flow rate at lower temps.

    I would highly recommend Nokian Hakkapeliittaa R2 SUV for Canadian winters. I have run these tires for year and they’ve saved my ass on at least a couple of occasions. Studded may not be the worst idea either since most of the roads you’ll be one will not be paved but packed ice and snow. Also, regardless of what tire you have, you’ll want a good set of snow chains. I can’t recommend any for light vehicles as I’ve only used them on heavy trucks that far north.

    Also should mention that Kal Tire is official dealer for Nokians in Canada and they usually carry stock on the Hakkapeliittas. They have stores in Hay River and Yellowknife.

    Haha yup I love winters in isolation! Looking forward to mostly darkness 24/7 during those months.

    I'm heading up for work, government job. Nothing too exciting.

    Thanks for all the recommendations guys! I have some research to do now. :hattip:

    In Alaska, I've run Blizzaks, Michelin X-ice, Hankook IPike, and nokian hakkapeliitta.

    They've all performed well. I liked the X-ice the most of them. The Blizzaks seemed to wear faster though may have been marginally stickier. You are looking for the mountain snowflake icon.

    Another comment that isn’t particularly helpful:

    You are a crazy man. I’m fleeing Chicago after 3.5 years cause I can’t take the winters here! No way I’d be up in the NWT anytime outside of July!

    Be sure to post pictures of your new truck when you pick it up and welcome.

    There is no substitute for a dedicated winter tire. Mountain snowflake All Terrains absolutely suck on snow and ice compared to a dedicated winter tire. Search YouTube for control comparison tests.
