Help Choosing Quiet AT Tires...
So this morning it rained again and I decided to test the Dynapro on the wet roads. I wanted to see how they are going to handle before the real foul winter weather sets in.
I purposefully turned traction control OFF so I could more easily enduce wheel spin. I made some right turns at intersections where traditionally I would spin pretty easily in the rain, and applied heavy throttle. I got less wheel spin than I used to get. These tires really hooked up. So then I came upon a red light and there was no one behind me so I floored the brakes.. nothing, no sliding, just a dead stop. A little later I came to another red light going down a slight hill with no one behind me, so I stood on the brakes and tried to slide a tire in the rain... no dice.
These tires stick to the road like glue in the rain. With all the siping, I imagine that they'll be awesome in the snow as well. They are VERY comfortable in the P-metric size. It's amazing how much more plush the ride quality is with these tires. I mean, really noticeable. So far, I'm loving them. Best tire I've used for a DD so far, and I've used a dozen different tires.

This is why I chose the BFG AT's. I read they last longer than most tires.
