I drive locally pulling a hopper. I got 130,000 miles on my first set so I decided to buy again. For the price of tires and the miles I got on the first set I couldn't afford to try anything else. I feel very safe with these tires on winter roads. Tires never cupped or chopped at all. Shipping was very simple and with me being out of state I dodged the sales tax. $3,006 for a set of 8 virgin tires delivered to your front door is a bargain. I think they would work well for multiple applications.
