Yesterday I still had the Coopers on and there was ~1/2" of fresh snow on the pavement. It was cold enough that it was getting hard packed as I drove on it. I tested out the Coopers a bit and concluded that they perform somewhere in between the summer Contis and the Pirelli Ice and Snows (on pavement). Of course I didn't drive the Pirellis on the same day (nor the Contis), just summarizing my other experiences with them.
Here's the deal; I plan on going "Christmas tree hunting" this weekend in the Boise National Forrest. I may travel down some fire roads that would/could have 6-12" of snow, some packed, some not (I decided I will not be making any "first tracks" on any road). There obviously aren't boulders or obstacles on these roads, but I'm looking for any input on what tire would be better suited for this. Definitely will let people know where we're going and have a checklist handy before departure. :thumb:
