Awesome!!! I used to live there for a bit. I still make it up to the area a couple times a year. Maybe you should save up and invest in a snowcat?

What about michelin pilot ltx's, I normally run michelin's on all my vehicles but ive read some reviews on tirerack with the pilot ltx's and alot of complaints on balancing issues. I used to work in a tire shop and no alot of the problems are the people balancing them. Thanks

the pilot ltx's are overpriced unless you need the higher load rating

If weather is a concern, Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S tires have got to be the best in their class.

I had summer only tires on my car while living in IN a few months ago and she was ice skating in the snow. Went to the Pirelli's and it was an AMAZING difference. What's also amazing is that they hook at least as well as my old Potenza RE730's did in the dry. They don't have as much of a feel in the corners but they seem to corner just as well.

I drove in a very lightly snow covered parking lot with these Pirelli's. What I didn't realize is that is was a light covering of an ice/snow and when I got out of the car and tried to walk I almost bit it (a couple of times). I remember thinking, "HOW DID THOSE TIRES DO IT?!"

Rrrr, just realized I was in the truck area. Got here by clicking on new posts. Don't know if they make em for trucks
