I am planning a trip, either in November or December, to Turkey. I will be setting off from my warm little Island of Bahrain through Kuwait, picking up my significant other, Iraq and on to Turkey.
The weather in out region is pleasant during those months so the Yokohama Geolanders I have on my 20 inch Black Rhinos do the job perfectly. However once I get to the north of Iraq and into Turkey things will change. As I go further north it will get much colder and wet. The closer I get to Trabzon, Turkey the higher the chance of us seeing snowfall and possibly icy roads. I don't want to have to change tires there and ditch my Yoko's. If I change tires it will be here before I set off.
My question is, since we don't get ANY snow out here, for the guys that travel long distance in the US and see the sudden weather changes. What tire would you recommend and why?
The only time I have driven in snow was on a frozen lake in the artic circle during Porsches Camp 4S event (pic attached) when I was an automotive journalist and they were studded tires.
