(Above, is All mkting bs, imo. Good tire, but not for winter, imo.)

Costco says its all season, every other site says its only a summer tire. Don't really want to put so much detail into this and drag it out on the forum just a bit confused and the problem is, if they have the M+S stamp on them, which no dealer seems to be able to confirm? Then it would be fine for insurance purposes. I will probably hardly ever use them in the snow so I'm not overly worried about traction. It snowed last week and I have bald diamaris and I was fine in it other than stopping. Anything will be better than those...

Anyways, if anyone that has them I would be very appreciative if you could take a quick look on the tire and see if it is stamped M/S, M+S or anything like that designating that it is at least minimally approved for mud and snow. Then I don't have to go through the hassel of canceling these tires and going with these cheap ugly looking atturo AZ800 that is the only other thing people can get in stock here right now
Jamie,
Fwiw, TR says:
"The Dueler H/P Sport is a Street/Sport Truck Summer tire member of Bridgestone's Dueler family of light truck tires. The Dueler H/P Sport was developed for the drivers of sport utility vehicles and performance pickups. The Dueler H/P Sport is designed to deliver predictable handling, traction and control on dry and wet roads. The Dueler H/P Sport is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. '

And, a look at a very large close-up pic from TR's site does not show the M&S label.
