I used to have a 76' scout that I drove through the winters of Wyoming. I used on-road highway tires even when playing offroad in the snow. all-terrain tires suck for snow. for those who live and drive in snowy regions think about what siping your tires is for. the highway tires are much closer to a siped tire and provide better traction in the snow, without the extra cost and ware that siping brings.
