What winter tires do you use?
So for those of us that live in areas that get cooold, and Icy, and snowy, (all good things) I was wondering what winter tires you've recently bought, plan on buying, or are gonna use.
I'm looking to get some myself this week, so suggestions are also welcome.
Let's see some pics too!

I am in New England and in the same boat.
Just had our first snow here and the Wrangler RT/S did not fair to well in the slushy stuff. Had Corolla's going by me at 60mph.

And I don't know what they use in new England, but here the city just throws down gravel, so it gets treacherous.. But no rust.
But I think I'm gonna go with goodyears Nordic. It's cheap enough, and I hear they're good.

And not to mention the gov't is starting to pass laws up here requiring us to use snow ties (canada), like I know they're already a must in Quebec.

The mudders I run are rated great in snow and ice, and perform better than any mudder I've ever had in the snow / ice. My guess is because of the lug design and siping.

My wife and I both have Bridgestone Dueller AT Revos, they are great on anything.
Will be giving my wife my 31s so she can keep an AT tire when I can afford a new set of 33s. At that time I will move to BFG KM2s.

I am in the mountains of Colorado (7300+ft and work at 9000+ ft) and have been running Cooper STT's 31's and we have had a few snow storms already and they have done very well. I have been running them since August or so. They are pretty good in deep snow, great in light snow, decent on ice... rain is good also. I love them.

I wish someone still made the old tall skinny bias ply snow tires.
I looked last night trying to find some and the closest I could get any more is
NDT military tires.
