Looking for Canadian winter tires SAS recommendation

[Uphill613]

Hi guys, for those of you have SAS do you just rock the GY OEM tires during Canadian winter? If so, how do you like it on hwys or when driving over black ice?

I don't think the GY Territory meets the Canadian insurance company winter tires requirement. I've a 22 wildtrak locate in Ottawa with OEMs looking for some recommendations on winter rated tires for SAS. Does anyone also sell steely rims that fit for SAS?

Thanks in advance!

Can't help you with Canadian laws. For the 2 storms I drove through in late '21-22 winter the stock Squatch tires were good...

I don't believe they are snowflake rated as you said though I think they do well.

Generally for snow you want something narrower (unless it's really really deep).

If it was me and I had sasquatch I would run 285 75R17 (34s) for better on road snow and slush traction. I think there are some 35x10.5 ish tires.

Your other option is get something snow rated in the stock size and sell the Goodyears. Bfg AT or generals or whatever.

Studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 315/70R17 for me. This will be my second season on them in Alaska. They were amazing last winter.

I ran my stock SAS tires last winter and they were fantastic. They are M+S rated which is permitted on our mountain passes.

They stock ones are S AND M rated so I think you'll be fine unless your driving in a competition, which I highly doubt you are

There not actually the snowflake is required for some roads in bc

i Would recommend checking with the local tire shops or law enforcement to get the truth
and not listen to banter on these forms
hope this helps

wildpeak a/t3ws are snowflake rated. I'm staying with the stock goodyears on my bronco. My wife's bronco sport badlands came with wildpeak a/t3ws but I bought an extra set of stock take off rims and put winterpeaks on them just to make her feel a bit safer, not that we get a real winter in Victoria.

I’m well versed in what the Winter tire requirements are in my area, thanks.

For more information, you can check out the BC provincial website for areas requiring snowflake rated or M+S tires.

Ya okay and so am I
always best to check with the people that actually know that why they are there

the OP mentions being ottawa

doesn't appear that the snowflake is actually required, but it's not a bad idea

Not sure if it’s much help but I spent a few days in Ottawa and Montebello QC during last February when you guys had a few days of intense heavy snowfall. My gf and I were in my 4 door BD w Sas and stock tires. The truck performed very well on the 401, side streets and a few back roads up at Kenauk for ice fishing. No issues and felt secure and safe. Here’s a pic of snow at Montebello that day.

I’ve no experience with the stock Goodyear Territory in snow or on black ice - so other posters here have better insight.

I’ve always gone with winter specific tires on my family’s and my own vehicles.
Blizzak, Michelin X-ice and Nokian have been excellent.

I had Nokian Hakkepelliitta on my 2014 Raptor and liked them a lot

I picked up a set of 17” take-off wheels from a local guy on this forum and put a set of Nokian Haks

Nokian Hakkapeliitta

Sick car I am looking at Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 right now. Studded tires are illegal in my neck of the woods
