@mbw -on my lr3 in co they flat out suck in snow and ice; I now run snow tires b/c the coopers are so bad in snow
Thanks for the info. That is what I thought just by looking at them and reading reviews elsewhere.
The tire choices for the 19" are truly horrible for off-road and snow/ice. I've been detailing this in another thread for the compo 18" wheels, but my plan I think is to just use the stock tires until they are worn out on the 19" then buy something like this for them: (street tire, summer only, Firestone Destination ST or similar)
Then on the 18" wheels get something for winter snow and ice, and for offroad fun like Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor:
