New tyres bought!

[bloat]

Ok guys I bought these today what do we think

vredestein wintrac xtreme

 

[stinka]

I'm not sure if they'd be any better in ice and snow than a decent a/t tyre ?

 

[davenclaire]

they look erm very car like lol

They look like winter tyres due to the very heavy siping so should be fine in the snow, infact AT's are better in the snow than MT's due to the sipes which MT's don't have as nothing sticks to snow better than snow:augie

Yes they are very car like haha I have had loads of trouble with the tyres we have at the moment at around 50 mph they shake the truck apart, we have balanced to within an inch of our lives :doh but no good so I've gone sensible for winter (fingers crossed) these have had some quite good write ups so went with them getting them fitted on Saturday :thumbs

Tidy looking snow boots mate Fresh snow especially.
Stinky, there are no tyres any good on ice unless they're spiked. My Hankook Dynapro's have little holes in them to thread in spikes :sly Trouble is in this country you can only use them on ice snow etc where there is no chance of "Damaging " the road surface

No that job is saved for the gritters:lol well it is around here as they like to scrape huge chunks out of the road:augie

Slightly different to my approach of snow tyres...



:lol

Ive never used any of these 'snow' tyres so dont know what to think, ive normally got a 4x4 with a set of these Insa Turbo Dakars fitted and they go anywhere in the snow, ground clearance in deep snow becomes the issue before any sort of grip issues!!
