I run oversized 265/65/17 Michelin LTX MS/2's right now. They are pretty good in the winter... I wouldn't say great especially in deep snow. They handle the ice well. I usually keep air pressure about 35psi on all 4's in the winter. I also put 3 bags of water softener (120lbs) sitting on the 3rd row seats directly over the rear axle. I've found that putting them all the way back by the gate actually makes the front end slightly lighter because of the fulcrum action going on.
Anyone else have any habits they do for winter driving? Has anyone found that a certain lower/higher PSI will help with traction? I feel as if a higher PSI will work better to cut through snow, but a lower PSI will help with ice traction in having a larger footprint. Thoughts?
