We had our first snow here in St.Louis area, and it caught me and my L by surprise. I have been looking like alot of us for some winter tires, but today i had no choice. I bought Michelin 4x4 Synchrone 255/55-18 Highway All-Season. They are actually a decent looking tire, and i was able to keep stock rims!!!!!!!!!!! F1's had 16,500 on them and i knew i would need to replace them quickly, but mother nature won today. I think with some weight added like most trucks, i should do fine this year. I'll keep all posted on how they do. Good luck to those who have to drive your L's this winter. Greg
