What tires are people using or recommend for the occasional winter trip up a pass?
I'm torn - a full winter tire would be best but if you aren't do a lot of winter trips it's pricey to get two sets of wheels and tires.
All-Weather AT tires meet the requirements (3 mountain symbol) required for driving up the passes but of course isn't as safe as a winter tire but then can be used for the majority of trips.
Two tires I've looked at:
Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac E-rated
BFGoodrich A/T T/A KO2 E-rated
I carry chains all the time but they aren't useful for driving even half the hwy speeds.
Thoughts?
