    When I lived in the PNW, I ran Blizzaks on my FWD car and it could go anywhere (ice/snow/whatever). Very soft and won’t hold up on dry pavement for long, but for true winter tires I wouldn’t choose anything else.

    This is what I choose for my needs.

    Translation

    Discover AT3 4S Size 265-65-17 (note this tire size is not a P size) Standard inflation Factory tire 29 PSI

    AT3 4S I have inflated to 32 PSI

    There is a chart online that gives inflation for tires. Because the new tires don't have a P size the chart indicated to inflate 2 PSI over
    factory.

    As a side note my OffRoad experiences are turning into my driveway.


    I live in Connecticut and our winters are hit or miss so i chose the AT3 4S as they suit my winter driving needs
