Default So, what tire are you running this winter?

I'm considering the Toyo M55s, and I'm am curious to know what everyone else will be driving. Are you sticking with M/Ts, A/Ts, a "Winter" tire, or something in-between? Post some pics if you have 'em...

Thanks!

I'm currently running some MTs myself and wouldn't go near ice, even though my Toyos have a little siping. You might want to get a "Heated Knife" (search on eBay) and sipe your MTs a bit. :-) I just bought one to sipe the M55s I'll be buying. There doesn't seem to be any downside to siping a good quality tire.

Nice looking tire those BFG MTs...

"Club Jeep Aventure" ey? Did you make it down to Bethel Maine this fall?

Im also running the MT KM's, However in the next couple weeks I think I'll switch to the BFG KM2's before snow comes... With their tread pattern it looks as though they might be a little better in the snow, and on the ice. Plus they look mean.

I heard the 1st Annual Vermont Jeep Jamboree was really excellent. I'm planning to do the Vermont and Maine Jeep Jamborees next year. Too bad there are no more Jamborees in Canada...
