FWIW: I use that tire on "The Iron Igloo" (84 Westy) in Winnipeg, and I LOVE it. Excellent highway performance and excellent winter traction. Only time I got stuck was the time I drove into a swamp, and sank up to the axles in slop. Karen was in the van at the time, and she was somewhat displeased with me. Cheers!
