BTW - your truck would probably be crap in the snow with those tires. Mud tires are junk in the snow. The tread in the tire just fills with ice and snow and they turn into slicks.


ughhhh london/ ontario?
i think, im not quite sure, my girlfriend knows for sure, too bad shes taking her last final.

but from what i have herd, mud grapplers are a very good snow tire. but dont hold me up to that.

Well that sucks...thats a 2 day drive away from me lol. There are a lot of members you could meet up with though if you're headed to the London area. Be sure to get in touch with them!
As for the mud grapplers, they could very well be. I've never used mud tires in the winter so I can't really speak from experience...I was just going on what I had heard (should have put that in my post lol). It would make sense that they would clog up with snow and ice though and not be much good.
