What snow tires?

[hunter0528]

I've got a 2020 Jeep Gladiator and it Falken Wildpeak3's. Got over 50,000 miles and replaced them with the wildpeak4' (3's I believe have been discontinued). I've had great traction on a couple of the jeep jamboree's and the performed great for the past 3 winters here in New England. I go off road in Rangeley Maine fishing and Hunting, with no problems. Waiting for snow to see how the 4's are. They are much quieter than my old 3's, but that could just because they were worn.

Go with studs if you can. Not all manufacturers make studded tires in all sizes. Hankook ipike, cooper, Faulken all make excellent studded tires. I sold my customers for over 30 years on the safety of studded tires in mid Montana. Starting, stopping, highway stability, city driving, all. Some of the new goofy sized tires you may not find studs for
but keep looking. Studs will give you peace of mind, Safety and traction when you need it on ice, black ice, hard pack and all other various winter driving conditions. Weight in the bed will help like you won't believe, we urged customers to run 6 to 10 of the Boy Scout sand bags in back. 200-500 lbs. when the studs wear out you can always pop the studs and finish out the tires in the off season. I sold my customers studs for over 30 years and they rarely went back. More importantly I sold them safety! Also, Slow Down!!

We hit 47 below twice last year.

Straight up minus 47 or is this with a wind chill? Curious, where do u live?

Still air thermometer reading of -47. In a low spot in a river bottom at the toe of a mountain range where the cold air pools due to diurnal drainage patterns. Nearby areas are often 15 degrees warmer. Based on winterburn damage to my spruces, I think the frigid pool was only 6-8 feet thick. But it was dang cold where I was standing.

Yokohama Geolandar AT. When my brothers 4wd failed in a snow storm on his way home he still climbed the big hill out of town in 2wd. Even helped the work van that would get 0 traction in wet grass. Had thwm on my Jeep TJ for a while and would go great in mud and obstacles. They are my go to for daily drivers.
