Tim -
I'm in Massachusetts, so yes, it does snow.
The northeast seems to be a bit "limited" in wheeling areas. This means that I'll get to wheel maybe 6-8 times a year.
Each of those trips should be multiple days though.
My guess is that the hour to hour and a half to switch out the wheels will be doable. If not, then yes, I will probably sell the OEM set.
In 315/75R16 I can get:
BFG AT KO's for $200 each.
XTerrains for basically $192 delivered (for 5)
Toyo Open Country M/T for basically $245 delivered (for 4)
Given my budget and what I want to do, which one?
