Tire research can possibly spoiled the party

Since we're sharing videos, this is a new video to me. I like Nokians but hadn't come across this vid until today:

They were on a top gear episode... Arctic expedition or something.

Don't see much mention of these here but they look like a good alternative if you don't want to go too aggressive but still want great traction. I read quite a bit of reviews on these and many who have ventured are quite pleased. I getting them mounted on Tuesday. Then taking a trip to the Shenandoah mountains and offroad to the cabins. I'll report back and post some pics.
Here's a pic

I'm running Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires in size 255/75R17.
They look great and fill the wheel well nicely. But, unfortunately, performance is lacking. Sloppy steering, truck floats. And they weigh 43 lbs per tire.
My next set will likely be BFGoodrich K03.

Those look pretty aggressive too

That's not a bad weight compared to others....I've never had good luck finding good year tires I like. I do like the one's on the bronco. They are 315/70/17 an weigh in at 55 lbs. Nothing else is near that low in weight so this is the first good year tire I may stick with.
