I had to swap out the ST to STII because of that vibration & they don't make them in 315 anymore. It was a tire defect on 1 side. So that's what I'm running, no chains... was just out for a quickie test. I don't know if these all-seasons will handle all that much and not get stuck to be honest, I'd bring the chains... I didn't have a shovel with me and walking distance to home in the cold was not ideal... otherwise I would've really given it a test. But it handles typical roads with zero problems... yes staggered, they weren't sleds, that's for sure.

One thing I did have a problem with - it's funny, so much snow/slush got stuck on the interior of all the rims that it started causing a vibration/wobble as I drove back on regular roads... had to knock it all out. The X is very sensitive to wheel weights.
