I have 4 matched (w0w) Peerless Force 4 ATs They suck balls in all but perfect conditions. They are useless in the rain, snow, sleet, mud, etc.



Who makes a good snow tire that might get some bite in the mud?

BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A k/o. I love mine, AWESOME in the snow and do respectably in the mud ( a TSL Bogger they're not).

I'll second that, I have a set of A/T K/O's on mine (LT235/75/15) and love em' in the snow. Pretty quiet for an aggressive tread tire and have GREAT wear (I already have over 30k on mine and they hardly look used).

I'll fifth that motion..... the front ones on my beast have been there since '98....yes, it's time to replace them (so that the match the rear ones), but they'll still pass inspection... ;-)

WTF

I sixth the motion.

Excellent tires.

I'd go for BFG mudders. Good in snow. good in mud, good in dirt, good on rock. Fairly good on asphalst. Bad on ice.

All terrains are medium in most things.

I'd disagree.... BFG AT's are far superior to the mud terrains in winter driving conditions.... mud terrains lack the tread edges and siping to perform well.

-Bret

Well sipping cane be done by hand (in a much more controlled/less distructive way). But I figured looking at them, they are probably like slicks on the ice/snow at high speeds.

It's the stopping that scares me, I go about 1mph (if not slower, basicall as slow as I possibly can) in icy drive ways and I still loose control while trying to stop or make any sudden turns.
