I have a Jeep Liberty Limited 2002 with BFG Rugged Trail tires (235/70/16) 2-ply 35PSI. These tires have nearly all their tread but are terrible in the winter conditions of Northern Ontario. Even in full-time or part-time 4WD they do not grip the road and breaking or steering maneuvers are always a frightful experience.
My dilemma is do I buy a separate set of winter tires such as the DUNLOP SJ6 and alternate tires in the Winter/Summer season, or should I buy a set of BFG All-terrain.
The BFG All-terrain have the mountain and snowflake symbol and qualify as a winter tire, but the garage told me they are 6-ply and require 55 PSI. They are Light Truck tires and not passenger tires as what I currently have. The man at the garage said the ride quality would be different, stiffer in steering and without a load in the vehicle (which I usually don't have) will be a spongy.
Pls advise.
