I've always put Motomaster SE all-seasons on our minivan. They've worked fine. I've had no complaints.

I don't drive aggressively, though! Actually my wife is a more aggressive driver than I am.

The reviews I read recommended studding the At/2 if expecting ice. But for me their performance on compact snow just wasn't acceptable compared to the previous tires I run (and now use again).

I put a set of motomaster E rated all terrain tires on one of my company trucks. 2 years now (seasonal, spring through fall) and they are fine.

They don't have the offroad ability of a "good tire", as in a KO2 or duratrac, but I havent had an issue yet.

Best part was they were $550 installed for 265's.

If the price is right - shoot.

With tires you get what you pay for (roughly).
Buddy put them on a dodge diesel. After the third "softball" he went back to a higher quality tire

True, although probably rare. I bought 4 new "factory" tires straight off a new truck with the fellow immediately putting on a lift kit and big tires.

Less than 200km on odometer. Found on kijiji for less than $400.

Wouldnt cross your fingers.
