  • Part 3


    In addition to the siping, I installed 500 (125 per tire) Grip Studs because the ice is just so bad around here. I've tried them on another set of tires and am very happy. Last spring, I removed them to re-install this season on the new Procomps. Removal leaves a little mark on the tire but nothing I'm worried about.

    Got about 6" of fresh, sticky snow today, and the tires are just awesome... I'm thinking even better than dedicated snow tires in these conditions because of the extra space between lugs. So I'm calling my experiment a huge success for now. :)
    Part 2

    Was pretty concerned about getting them but lots of jeepers around here swear they are the best mud terrains they have tried for the winter conditions we face. Found an offer I couldn't refuse so I thought I'd try them. I've got about 4000 miles on them now and I'm pretty impressed but it wasn't until now that I got to try them in snow and some nasty ice. My "mission" was to make a mud terrain tire perform well in these conditions. My other vehicle (honda pilot 4wd) is on studded Master Craft Courser snow tires, and my jeep is performing at least as well.
    Hey, sorry for the late reply! I haven't logged in for too long!

    Part 1:

    I ended up purchasing the Procomp MT2 tires & Got the center lugs siped about a month ago. Interestingly, the tires have quieted down a bit as a result. I have a coworker with the same tires who got his siped about 2 years ago. He swears the siping has made them wear longer but I'm not sure about that. I also wonder if different MT's respond differently to siping due to compounds, etc.
