I had the exact opposite experience with my A/T KOs. They were solid in
the snow, I actually had a lot of trouble breaking the rear-end loose on
purpose with them. I can count on one hand the number of times I felt
out of control with them through 3 winters. When I parked, I always saw
airspace between a good number of lugs.

I also found them to be quite good in Jon's mud, in the rain, and just
about everywhere else.

Had I felt they sucked, I'd wouldn't be so upset that the required size
for my '03 is so ridiculously high that I won't be buying them to
replace the Badyears the truck came with. I'll probably end up with
Yokohamas primarily for budgetary reasons.
