Just an update....thanks for all the input. We got 18" of snow here Monday, and I went to the tire store after we closed the shop early. In the 4 mile drive I counted 9 cars off the road! The XJ, even with Eagle LS's on it, went damn well :laugh3: but I had them put on a set of BFG All-Terrain T/A KO's anyways, in 225/70-16 (OEM size), and man, I'm waiting for the next Nor'easter to blow in now so I can go snow-wheelin' in the unplowed streets again! That is a damn fine tire IMHO. Wife real confident now too, which is a BIG relief as it's her DD. Now I'm thinking a Rustys budget lift to gain a bit more snow bank capability. Gotta love winter in Maine.
