I've been there, man. I had blizzaks on my SC well into summer years ago because I could not afford $70 to mount the summers on my same rims.

Did this last winter... 28th of April, thought it would be OK as I was done at work and had nowhere special to be. Went to my aunt and uncles cabin 15 minutes north of where I live, had dinner and when I got out there was a good 10cm of wet snow on the ground

I got around alright enough with no near-death experiences, but fuck me it feels like shit when you try using Toyo Proxes T1R's on a surface where you are used to having Hakkapeliitta 7's

Anyone here have experience with Discoverer AT3's? Looking at potential tires for my next car, which will be used on pretty much any terrain from asphalt to abandoned logging roads with a 1-2t trailer behind it.

Note; these tires will not be used during winter, where I'll be going for Hakkapellitta no matter what

I ran on blizzaks for a full year because I got lazy. Then the wheel bearings froze and the turbo started spitting too much oil to bother dealing with :^)
