Dedicated Snow Tire

[ThundahBeagle]

Thoughts on mounting and unmounting tires? I'd like a dedicated set on separate wheels but I'm having trouble finding what I want and I'm due to pick up my camper this weekend. I've never felt good about stretching tires on and off rims but I don't know anything about it so it's just a gut feeling and there may be no basis for a concern.

I'm no mechanic or tire tech but personally I'd be wary of mounting and unmounting every 6 months or whatever. So, so much easier just to get a set of steelies, m ou until the snows on them and just swap out wheels.

We've had a couple of mild snows this past month or so, 6 inches of light powder or less. Today and overnight we are slated for somewhere between 6 inches to a foot. I've seen some bigger and some smaller flakes. Let's see what we get

Those look nice. Do you have a shot of the tread pattern?

If I recall years and years ago, the General Grabber had a sort of dog bone pattern that was very similar to the BFG A/T KO. And back then the Grabber was less expensive, so a better deal.

This is the best I have at the moment.

Yep. Just as I had it pictured. Nice

Aand the storm petered out to a mere 6 inches of snow.
