Snow vs. All-Terrain tires?

Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascents once again doing exactly what they should in the fresh snow today...
<pcitures removed>
Didn't slip or slide..on acceleration or braking (no ABS, no skid).
Performed flawlessly..they amaze me every time it snows..I look forward to as much snow as possible this winter..FUN!

Good to know for when the H/L's need to be replaced. The H/T's have significantly less 'blocking' and siping in the tread area:



which explains why they perform so poorly in slush.
If I Were King ... I'd put region-appropriate tires on vehicles when new.

The AT Ascents are extremely confidence inspiring..I still haven't wrapped my head around how great they are!

Where's the fun if they don't slip or slide.

I live in the Twin Cities but routinely drive out onto lakes to ice fish and haul my snowmobile trailer on unplowed roads up on the Iron Range. I've run Duractracs and Falcon Wildpeak A/T3W on my two 5th gen trucks. My brother-in-law manages several Discount Tire stores, so is my new tire connection. The last time that I needed tires (fall 2022) he talked me into buying Goodyear Ultraterrain AT tires. He had been running them on his trucks, so I begrudging tried (I'm not a Goodyear fan).

I've got 36k miles on these tires and can't say anything bad. They are fine in the summer and in the snow are as good as any other all-season tire that I've had on a truck. I've never run snow tires.
