snowflake rated tires with raised white letters?

[blackened_offroad]

I'm down to the end of the wear marks on my stock tires and will be back in CO for the winter, so I'm looking for some new tires. I've run Blizzaks in past winters, but they burn up on dry pavement, so unless you're changing your wheels out when it's dry, they end up only lasting a season and are therefore very expensive.

Wanting snowflake rated A/T tires. the Falkens look good, but I prefer raised white letters. Not seeing many out there. Anyone know of some good snowflake rated A/T tires with raised white letters?

The Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S is snowflaked with outlined white letters (not solid white).

Grabber AT2's were when I had them.

I had those. Didn't like how they drove and got a couple flats pretty early on.

KO2s

if comments on the interwebs are to be believed, the vast majority of KO2 owners dont think they do very well in snow.

I endorse this message (albeit on a Jeep).

compared to snow tires, no, none of the A/T tires will be

for a A/T tire they're good

One of our rescue trucks on new-ish KO2s had to be sidelined on Sunday due to uncontrolled spins and fishtailing in the snow. The others on Duratracs were fine.

same truck?

yeah, this is what I've heard over and over.

Another choice, white outline, not solid white. May be my next set.

I'm on my 2nd set of KO2s and I do not like the grip on packed snow. They just don't grip at all. Same can be said for Duratrac's when the initial sipes wear down around 25k miles. I'm looking into new tires. Maybe the Falken Wildpeak AT3 or the Toyo Open Country AT3.

Check out the Toyo website. You can get these tires in OWL. Just noticed that today.

yeah. maybe I'll get the Falkens and hand paint the letters. lol. I had Open Country AT2's on my 4x4 van, they weren't as good as Blizzaks, but they did pretty well, even on the twisty sections of i70 through the mountains with no weight in the van.

The cooper at3 also comes in a 6 ply lt version. Maybe more puncture resistant.

Lol, I was unimpressed by my Duratracs in the snow when I drove through Colorado last year. Tires had about 6k miles on them at that time so hardly worn

this is what's hard about tires, everyone has a different experience. you'll really never know if you personally like them without running them

Which is why I swap my 4R out to dedicated Snow Tires & wheels every year. I see so many trucks with ATs stuck on the side of Berthoud every winter.

what SAR do you work for? I ski Berthoud and Jones pass a lot. I had Blizzaks last year, but I have to drive into denver a lot, and the dry pavement just slaughters the Blizzaks. They went from brand new to completely bald in 6 months.
