Probably pretty helpful for the OP who lives in Myrtle Beach which gets an average of 1in of snowfall per year.

Maybe look at Firestone Destination AT? They're like an aggressive highway tire. They're SILENT and are great in snow, IMO. I drive around in 2wd in 9 inches of snow and they are great.

I love my 33 Duratracs as well. They are very quiet for this aggressive of a tire and have a solid traction. Make sure you get the eight ply tires for durability of the sidewalls.

275-70 18 duratrac. On second set here on Long Island. Beach, snow, highway daily driver. Got 64K on first set. On second for a month and ride is terrific. I know people say sidewall is an issue. Not here on the beach. Perhaps in rocks. Not an issue in sand. Snow? Excellent. The 275 is wide enough for floating on sand but narrow enough to dig in deep snow. Everyone usually loves what they have. So take it for what it's worth. My experience may be different. Good luck. FD

We have these tires on our work trucks. I do like them for traction but they are a hard compound and do not compare well against other winter rated ATs in snow and ice. My work truck is basically a 2wd with the 4wd selected because only the front tires have traction. I think they also have a limited D rated tire selection so you'd be stuck with heavy and hard tires.

They come P rated in a large range of sizes, even 285/70/17 - The big boys are E rated.
OP lives in a hot area, so the snow/ice rating prolly isn't a concern

yep, here come those metric sizes, I have no idea what that means. And I am again a virtual retard at math. Its actually quite the anomaly. I used to walk out right in the middle of math exams I'd get so mad. People are always shocked when they find out that I own multiple business's.
