Super snow beast mode

[jameslook]

The Cyberbeast is a blast in the snow!
I have the Goodyear Duratac AT and they seem really good. I am swapping for the Nokian LT3.
Hope I am making the right decision but I guess we will see.

Good choice!

Once I get them I’ll post an update and notes on the Hakkas as it seems there is a lot of debate on what tires to use for winter off roading.

The Nokian Hakka LT3s are getting installed. I’ll let you know how they perform.

Did you get studs? These are almost certainly the tires I'll go with, but my debate is studs. We get a lot of ice where I am.

I didn’t get the studs.

Unless you are on ice a ton, you will be happier with studless

That depends. The sound of studs is annoying, but so is the sound of my wife panicking when we hit an ice patch. We're on ice a lot because the temps here bounce up and down above freezing frequently. About 8 shifts this week alone, so we have roads that are clear, snow, rain, ice, snow rain, ice. I had an old style Grand Cherokee and I didn't even put winter tires on that, just all terrains and it was great all winter. My cars always have studs. I expect the CT to be great with just winter tires but I really want to be as close to worry-free as possible. There's a mountain pass we go over weekly and can't really delay much if the weather's bad and it gets dicey. Last Saturday it closed twice in 6 hours with multi-semi truck pileups. I want to laugh at the weather warning screens on that highway if at all possible

Sounds like the perfect use case for the studs!

These tires are indeed insanely good. I couldn't believe I was paving my own (fresh) path in the snow. I've never owned a vehicle like this before, so it was truly inspiring knowing I can go anywhere I want without getting stuck.
Note: I did turn on Slippery Mode / 4WD drive on at all times but that's it - I didn't even go into the off-road menu.
