You're a better man than I...
Big tires... because the tires in the pic are big... She's too skinny to make that connection I think you're trying to make...

So, which tires have good traction in snow, ice, and slippery paved roads?
This is the type of tire you want for Ice I believe. These are Goodyear UltraGrip Ice. Not an all terrain tire, nor all season. Just a pure winter tire.

Let's just put it this way. If Professor X ever crawled into my mind, it'd ruin him. He'd be reduced to a conflicted pool of sack sweat.

Moral of the story; don't try to analyze the Billy.

Duratrac tires are winter rated, but probably nowhere near as good on the ice, but look like they'll climb mountains. :)

No beating the dedicated snow tires for winter driving that's for sure.

Love my Jeep, but the Subaru will still spin circles around it on snowy/icy roads. Well up to about a foot or more of snow anyway. :cwl:

I had a set of DT when then first came out, the sales guy didn’t even know what I was talking about when I asked for them lol but after about a year the performance dropped like crazy in the wintertime. First winter they worried well, second winter I got stuck in my driveway 3 times hahaha
That was their first run so I don’t know if they improved since then, do know they don’t hold up to mileage on a heavier vehicle like a 3/4 ton

Ah, figured they'd wear out faster with such an aggressive tread.
