Hi Mike

In northern Maine, where last winter snow in the "Flat" part of my yard and driveway was up to the windows on my Vanagons, I use Nokian Hakkapeliittas and have never had a problem. Mine aren't studded, by the way. I've been using them for 6 years now.

On one I have 185 14 C2 and on the other I have 185 14 CQ. The difference is that the C2s came with holes so that studs could be added whereas the CQs did not.

Mike
