I put them on my FJ after Mark said how much he liked them on his vans. They leave a distinct pattern in the snow.

Tires like this need to be rotated more... We rotate about every 5000 miles
We got almost 40,000 miles on the set we just replaced and there was still tread... But we really wanted tread!

I switch to a less aggressive tread, with my short wheelbase I really get the road noise with the Discoverer tires. I need to put them on but it's in the 50's -60's over the weekend.
Maybe late next week.??? I'm in Winter denial.

When it snows here, I just roll over and wait for lunch.

Look for tires with the M/S symbol. It stands for mud and snow.
It will be a little harder to find in an E rated tire.

What ever tires they put on a new Chevy van is what I run year round.

What are Butler people using for good traction in winter in northern climes?

Exactly what I just put on. Not that we get much snow here. More black ice than snow.

If your getting winter tires specific for snow and ice make sure they have a snowflake symbol on the sidewall.

Up north in the Saginaw Valley I run what ever came on the van from the Butler factory. We don't have the hills that you guys have down there , so the weight of the van makes it easy to get around in the snow.
