Re: Tire Chains
I had the same experience with the BFG AT, nice tire...when there's plenty of tread. I didn't like them in the mud though, they didn't self-clean worth a crap.
I can't tell you the STT is great on ice...I haven't found any tire that it.

Re: Tire Chains
Oh yeah I agree! I think with adding extra siping if you wanted, the stt would have to be one of the best tires for an H2

REGARDING SIPING: How often do you have to have them siped? I assume it depends on your tire's wear.

I am driving myself nuts right now deciding between 37 BFG AT or 37 Cooper STT because my truck is my daily driver as well. I am bored of BFG AT's however I dont want to shot myself in foot with winter driving on STTs

REGARDING COOPERS: Uh, isn't that the Sears' brand of tires? I'll give it to Sears as far as Craftsman tools are concerned...but tires? I've gotta stick with BFG.

Re: Tire Chains
Chains arrived today...they'll come in handy at some point. So, I'll just include them in my 'winter kit.'
Going to look into siping for general winter season driving.
Thanks to everyone for their feedback/input on this.

Re: Tire Chains
Question on Siping. I have Nitto Mud Grapplers. I've heard you shouldn't sipe those since the tread is chunky and the rubber is soft. Is this true? Anyone have their grapplers siped?
Heard chunks can break off.

Re: Tire Chains
What do you mean sears brand? Like you mean they are made by sears and only sold in sears. I didn't know that, guess I might scratch those of my list. If cooper, mickey Thompson, and pro comp are owned by sears, then that is news to me and none of those for me!

Re: Tire Chains
No...not made by Sears. I just always equate them with Sears, since Sears pushes them like Craftsman and Kenmore. Every pair of Coopers I've seen (at least that I've noticed) have been badly worn and looked like they've worn badly.
I could be dead wrong on Coopers...but I'll still stick with BFG.
