Have you checked the tire rack website? I've found it very helpful.<br> Studs are illegal where we live; therefore have no experience myself.<br> I buy snowtires hoping to get better traction on ice. There doesn't appear to be the same number of choices for SUV tires that perform on ice as there is for cars...perhaps due to the weight of our SUV's and size of the tires.<br> I find it interesting that MB Canada recommends Pirelli. However, TR doesn't carry them. Past experience with Pirelli (granted a number of years ago) makes me think a little before buying these tires.<br> Dave
