I have 18" Bridgestones on my Sahara but I would like to find a good 16"/17"/18" winter tire that is around 32" diameter.
Are winter tires in Canada marked with a snow crystal logo on the sidewall?

A snowflake in a mountain outline is a winter specific tire in Canada.
Even a winter specific tire however takes 50% more stopping distance than a studded tire.

The BFG A/T's are good in the snow. I'm avoiding all MT's in my shopping because of the fact that I want low noise, and also for good snow performance. I'm pretty sold on the Nitto Terra Grappler A/Ts. for the price, they look like a solid choice.
Does Nokian make anything that big? Hankook? Michelin? these are leading car snow-tire brands, but I'm not sure about truck. most people just stick it in 4wd, and roll on A/Ts, etc.

The BFG A/T are severe Weather Rated, there are however a Few that do not carry the Symbol...so you would have to check on the website....The Pro Comp A/T is also Rated for severe Weather..not the XTREME A/T though
