I'm not going to put them on till next October or so....we've had almost constant snow here in KC since last November....shoveled another 6 inches of new snow last night....

Again though, how squirmy can they be if they are 35 series tires with a higher load rating than the OEM Contis....load rating suggests sidewall stiffness/strength doesn't it? Or are you saying the tread-blocks themselves won't be as stiff?

I'm putting about 20,000 miles/year on the stick & it's really eating tires...
Whatever, for only $105.....it's worth a try.
