<p>[QUOTE="Tibs pete, post: 9907087, member: 292470"]Im usually a Michelin fan but I found the xdn2's lack luster. Theyre good for ice until about -35 after that useless, deep snow forget about it sippings to close they just pack up and turn to slicks same with mud if your running them year round like i did as a company guy. If you do any offroading like bombing through the field to load or get a large dump of snow you cant count on them.
