How would you review your Expy in 4WD in snow with Nitto Recon Grapplers? This is my first time using Recon Grapplers. I’ve always been an BFG AT man on my other vehicles. I also ask because I’m new to owning an Expy. This is mine.

Looking at tread pics, they should be ok, but they don't have many sipes to bite with. Once they wear down some, they might get really slippery. Tire stores around here will sipe tires, they make a huge difference in ice/snow.

Agree - The BFG KO2's are mountain snowflake rated the Recons are not. I have Recons and love them but I'm in Florida and haven't seen any snow here since one time in the 70's and again in the early 80's. At some point I'll be relocating my Timberline to VT and will prob get a separate set of studded Nokians.

Those will probably be sub-par at best and only because they are new. Even the all-weather A/T aren't great; I had Toyo AT3 on my last truck and they were "OK" in snow/ice.

You'd be better getting dedicated snows for your stock 22s or 20s.

Yah they'll get the job done, just not good. The BFGs would be alot better.
