Traction? wtf is that? lol.
I love they style and dry handling is great. I ran them in the snow and ice but used autotrac or 4wd most of the time. Wet seems ok but I'm ULTRA-CAREFUL driving in the wet.
I will buy more when time comes. 15K on them.

I have a set of 285/60/17s on the truck currently. Can't really comment on traction unless you include 4wd launches. Otherwise, i like the look and handling...definitely going with another set when these wear out.

I'm very impressed with mine (285/50-20), as mentioned above, great grip when dry, ok in the rain if you drive conservatively, and I haven't tried them in the snow...I have 275/70-16 Toyo Open Country AT's on the factory aluminum wheels for winter

I've had them on my old 20's and currently on my 18's (255/55's). Love the tire and their characteristics. I wouldn't recommend them for snow though. Wide and flat is your enemy in the snow. If you see a lot of it in Maryland during the winter months consider some Bridgestone Blizzaks. I run stock sized Blizzaks on my stock wheels during the winter and they are amazing.
