Best tires for ice
The original tires on our 07 Trailblazer 4 X 4 are getting to the so - so tread stage. Being we have a steep north sloping driveway ice is a bigger concern than snow. Brand loyalty doesn't mean much to me, just the best tire for the job. Anybody have any favorites? Thanks. Frank.

Studded tires must not be legal anymore, as you never see a tire shop advertising them. I haven't tried the internet sources yet. I'm just fishing for favorite tread styles or brands here for now. Frank.

EW; Thanks for getting me up to speed on tire terms, I've always noticed those little lines, but never knew they had a proper term. We got our first real snow of the season this morning, so let those little sipes go to work.

The tire dealer that has did all of our farm and car/pickup tires for years sells Miechlen and I think Cooper too, so I'll give him a call. Thanks for all the info. Frank.

I'd pretty well decided to get the Coopers but a couple days before I went to see the dealer the Trail Blazer got rear ended by a hit and run driver. We got it back from the body shop yesterday. I did get the plate number but it was a stolen plate on a stolen car, so much for him having insurance.

Just one set for each, I used to do the two set thing but it got to be a pain.

Harvey; The tire pressure monitor in our Trailblazer has been a joke since it was new. Even with the tires at proper inflation the warning light comes on anytine the temprature is below about freezing. After you drive a half hour or so it goes out. I've always had the utmost faith in the dealer we do business with, but after repeated requests to fix the DXXX gizmo they seem to just shrug it off. OK, now I'm getting steamed, the TB is still under the 3/36 warranty, the thing was maent to work, it don't, why can't I get them to get serious about fixing it??? anybody else have the same thing??

My parents ran a Mom and Pop Standard Oil station for years, so I got plenty of part time tire experience. I knew about the cold temp pressure drop and all that from my tire days there, but with todays electronics it seems that an outside air tempreture sensor would be a simple part of the monitor system and compensate for it. You know, the old, "If they can send a man to the moon etc., etc."
