im not sure about tire racks ratings, because they are just based on customer reviews and not actual statistics.

how much snow do you see where you live?

If you see a decent amount of snow (6"+ in a few hours) I would go with the Conti's I love mine. If you see hardly and snow I would look at the kumho's. It really depends on what kind of weather you see.

They weigh 30lbs. The affect will probably be similar to putting 19' wheels.
