I hate to spend $600.00+ or so on tires, when there's probably 30,000 miles left on the ones I have. I am worried in the rocks though, they're not BFG's.

I've been thinking about replacement tires. These Yokos are pretty skittish in the rain, I assume they will just be scary in the snow. My first idea was to get a set of dedicated winters, but then I'd need another set of rims. Your idea is good though, get a set of severe winter duty A/Ts and run them all year round. I had some of the BFG A/Ts on a Jeep and those things were great in winter and wore like iron. I was just hoping that there would be something just as tall but a little skinnier than 10.5" (or 265 in P metric) to reduce frontal area, rotating mass, etc.
