The soone socks thread made me thing of this:
I have just put a new set of the above tyres on one of my wifes Suzuki Grand Vitara's tyre size is limited in the OEM size, so it was hard work finding any witrh a decent tread, my choice would have been BFG AT for the driving we do.
Many rorums are rating these as slightly better than BFG's and so far they have been pretty good but a bit early to tell, though the BFG tread pattern had ben arounf for donkey's years and so maybe a bit of 21stC revamping is due.
Anway my point is this according to Yokohama, the best thing for gripping on snow is 'snow' and these new tyres incorporate small serated grooves to pick up a littel snow and use it as a grip on the rest of the slippery stuff, and so far, over fields and bridal paths in soime pretty deep stuff they do seem to work no problems.
Has nayone else tried out this particular tyre it is the A/T-S GO12?
