Tire review after 1 week
 
well sort of a week. The Goodyear Fortera Triple Tread is pretty amazing! I finally got to test it in a good amount of snow hardpack, powder and slush/ice. It did not miss a step in handling all these conditions. I even tried some more 'sporty' than usual driving for these conditions and had no problems. Stopping was a non event and I really didn't get them to break loose at all in either 2 or 4 WD. I did get the traction control to "hit" a couple of times for a split second but with no drama at all. On the dry they seem so far to be just like any other tire but in the adverse conditions they are a true standout.
The down side of course is the $900.00 or so to fit them all around but I am most happy with the outcome so far.

Remember this is an FYI IMHO and your results may vary!

Jet 1 looks like your tires are sold out in Canada, looks like I may have to buy Blizzacks.:shade:

another choice would be the dueler A/T Revo2. no need to buy a dedicated snow tire.
