Post by: JLS on October 30, 2013, 09:49:18 PM: I've had both. The Firestones were very ho-hum. The Bridgestones are very good on snow and ice, and not bad in mud.

No brainer decision IMHO.

I bet those are 4 ply tires. Stay away from 4 ply. Get at least 8-10ply. Those are very spendy. We have quite a few guys coming over here hunting from the westside and some are at Les Schwabs getting there 4 plies fixed because of rocks.

I have some Firestone 245x70x17 load range E 10 ply I'll sell you. Straight highway tire though. I think they're the Transporter ones for $400 you come on get 'em.
