Lee,
Unfortunately I had my winter steel rims and tires stolen so I am forced to run the MT/R tires this winter. I was home for the holidays and we got 24" of snow in 36 hours.
That's tons of snow even by my standards, I can't remember the last time we had that much in such a small time frame. Anyhow I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to test out the tires. I am very very pleased in how they performed in the loose and packed snow. They cleand real well and have lots of traction in the deep stuff. Now when it comes to packed snow and ice, they are about as useless as they come. I did expect that because of the large solid lugs. Good winter tires have many bitting edges or sipes. My tires are not sipped and I suspect that sipping them might help but I'm not going to bother. The key to winter driving is slow and steady.
We were out wheeling today as well and I ran all day at 18 psi (my MT/Rs are 31x10.5). Once again, the tires worked great in the slush and snow.
Cheers
