Thanks for the info!

Well I have gone with the Goodyear DuraTrac for the fairly consistent good reviews they get regarding snow and ice, and decent on everything else.

I think they will suit me well and I bought those Dyna beads to put inside for balancing - I'll let all know how they work - it's a $28 experiment - a worthy gamble I thought as I've not tried them but hated trying to keep my last large LT tires balanced.

Those look pretty nice, I like did you get 12.50's? My concern is weight of the tire, and unsprung weight.

Hi, Yes 12.50's because only a few offroad tires that I know of come in 10.50 and none are boasting snow/ice peformance as primary.
