I'm going to have to get new tires next fall and want to make sure I get ones that are decent in the snow. Right now on my XL Denali I'm running 275/55/20. I got a good deal on Falken Ziex a couple years ago and they were OK in the snow the first winters but this year they suck.
What do you suggest? I like an aggressive looking tread, but I don't need a mud tire. What's good? I've seen some I think I like and then seems like I talk to someone who hates them. And the opposite. Seemed like on the net a certain tire people hated them talked to a guy at a shop who said they're good.
So, what should I look into?
Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm running a Cooper Discoverer AT/3 year round in a 275/60/20 and so far they have been amazing. They were already down to 40% - 50% when I got them, so I can only assume that when new they are even better!

I had Nitto Crossteks on my 2003 Escalade ESV. I now have have Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 2005 Yukon Denali XL. Both are great in the snow with that AWD.20151210_145753_HDR.jpg

BTW, on these NBS AWD suvs with these particular 20"s, 275/55r20s are as big as you can go. I really wanted to go with 305/50s, but there is NO WAY they would fit at factory height.

Thanks for the input. Anyone run Hankook Dynapro AT or Kumho Road Venture AT?
