Default Winter tires

What do you all run for winter tires? I have 35 inch mudders on right now and don't want to go much smaller than that for winters. Do they make that large of studded winter tires? I live in northern Canada so heavy snow and ice is an issue. How much would they cost if they do make them?

just air down your mud tires for knobby foot print. or go with chains if its too slick, although as long as you have limited slip or lockers I can not see you having too many issues with just airing down your knobby mud terrains for increasing footprint.

I second or third the Dura Trac tires. I run them on my pickup truck for a couple of winters and the are excellent snow and winter tires.
