If he ever dies, they could be transplanted to a coal-fired powerplant, run it for a week on each one.

I like those ... traction in the snow ... I've always said, that the appropriate tire makes all the difference

Given the indicated arrow, wouldn't the tread pattern on those force snow/mud into the center of the tire?

I have no idea ... that was just one of the pics that showed up when I googled "snow traction" images

It's common for folks to run a pair of Baja Claws, Boggers, other directional off road tires backwards. Prevailing theory that it's better traction in rocks. Seems like it would be the opposite in mud/snow though.

Speaking of tires, I'm happy to say that I got rid of these yesterday. Probably the worst tires I've ever had. I had a pair that were good/adequate for a few years, so I got 2 more, and they were terrible.

All 4 were replaced with these:

I'm not so scared of driving on wet pavement now.

I have never had a Goodyear tire that I wasn't eager to get off the car as soon as economically feasible.

Goodyear Wrangler Radial P235/75R15. Best tire I ever put on my daily driver Wrangler.

Decent off road traction and light weight. P rating for sidewall squishy-ness.

It wasn't a heavy rock crawl or mud tire, but for highway cruising and mild to medium off roading it worked really well.
