I drive 30 miles each way to and from work. For the last 10 miles closes to home the roads don't get treated because of the surrounding land/water. I had snow tires but got rid of my old car, the car I have now has all season tires. The tires have good...

I would not put the chains on until I really needed them. Not sure how long they would last if you used them frequently. I only bought these chains because of travel from Washington to Colorado during the winter months. If I was driving in the snow on a daily basis, I would buy actual snow tires for the winter months. Good luck!

I have a long gravel driveway and it works well. Better than a snowblower in my opinion. Just have to be sure not to go too deep and pick up the loose stone. A little practice is all it takes. I usually leave a thin layer of snow when I do my drive.

I just bought my second set. Got 50,000 miles on the first set, and they still have tread, the UV was starting to break down the sidewalls enough that they were leaking air.

I do mostly off road. The one time I took a road ride, I ended up with 2 flats from thorns. These tires are excellent for dirt.

Can't really answer to the snow conditions since we are in Texas during the winter but my husband loves these tires and stands behind them. He retired from Ford after 40 years as a Service Technician.

We only had light snow but did well in 3-4 inch snow, better than most tires. Only tires I put on all of my families cars

The best dang tire you can buy for a truck weighing more than 8k lbs and needing great off road capabilities. Just curious. Why do you care about the sidewalls? Worried about curbs or bullets? lol.

I live in a similar climate in central Oregon. If you ride fixed you will have more control over breaking. ( think driving a manual vs. automatic transmission). It is still pretty sketchy though. If you plan on riding in the snow a lot I would suggest riding a slightly smaller frame than you are used to because you will have more control. I think someone makes a studded tire also.

I use my trailer to haul small building supply's . Lawn mowers and my tools from Ma. To N.H. . I've moved a couch on it. I,m going too haul wood for the winter soon . but so far it's been getting a work out . I wish I got 12" wheels instead of 8" wheels . My home in N.H. has a mix of sand and dirt with some bumps for a drive way . My drive way is 164 ft. To the road . I drive a 2.0 2 door KIA sportage 4x4 . small car but seems to handle what I tow so far , but winter will test all.

about to find out in a couple weeks :)i don't have high hopes for them, offroad tires aren't usually that great for snow. i prefer to use actual winter tires, like my bridgestone blizzaks. i bought these Nittos as a summer set.

i too have these tires on my 39ft jayco with less than two thousand miles and only 5yrs old, and just this past week suffered a catastophic failure with one tire. everything was checked before setting out and less than 100 miles later i have rv damage. checked with my rv dealer service manager upon my return home and he said he personally has seen a lot of these failures with this tire. i personally will not buy anymore goodyear trailer tires and am going to have the remaining 4 removed and replaced with another brand

That would depend on the amount of wear you subject it to. High traffic areas may have to be done every so often, when ever they appear to be getting dull. But I have done areas that get little traffic, and the finish lasts for years.

I still have it on my road from last Summer. If you want temporary, use Something else.

I'm in a small city, about 40,000 or so in eastern NC. Within the city limits from inside my home to someone driving I can get about a mile or so range out of them. Not sure if you change the landscape, terrain and geographical location.....

It will not get too cold in winter. Believe me, I am almost always cold and have never had any problem with cold affecting the driving ability. Enjoy. Kitty Reader

It depends on how much salt your cars going to see through out your season. Iv'e had mine for two years in NC and do a detailed clean on it every 6 months. Its held up after three winter storms were we had massive amounts of salt on the road. I dont think any exhaust system will be spotless in a Northeastern winter though. Since this is cheap you could get away with buying a new one every two years if it gets bad.
