Post your winter tire/wheel setup

[jonnied1]

Good Year Wrangler Duratrac's on the 2008 Jeep Rubicon and 2008 Ram 2500 4WD Diesel year round. LT265/70r17's on both.
I use four Autosock AS699's when needed to get up my steep driveway. Works great. Take them off before I get on the road.

Those Duratrac's are popular down this way too - can handle mud without the severe road noise like the lug monsters the youngsters like to play with.

How are they in slush and deep snow?


Much better than any all-season tire, and overall better than I expected them to be. That said, I can see how other designs like Blizzaks, Hakkas, and 'high void' winter tires might be a little better in slush and deep snow... The reviews on TireRack are spot on, IMO - the Xi3 isn't likely to WIN any category outright over other winter tires (other than maybe packed snow/ice), but they'll do everything pretty well, and should last longer than all the other winter tires while doing it.

I just bought my first set today and put them on the Sentra. Blizzak W80's on some fairly nice looking wheels. I went into the tire store for an entirely different reason. I had no intention of buying. I had to make a return trip to reset the TPMS - it came on 10 miles after I left the store even though they allegedly programmed it previously. They think it was due to me removing the summer tires/wheels/sensors from the car.
I've never used winter tires before. Hopefully it is worth it!
