One relatively minor reason for going with the LTX is local pricing of
Nokian tires. If a Nokian fails, it's not worth the trip to the US for
me to get a new one so I'm over paying (IMO) for a new one. But then
my current set of Nokians have been fine in that regard so tire
failure is likely only a remote possibility.

Since I tend to avoid snowy road conditions, I may not have to report
back in that regard but will do my best to post what I find of the
LTX.
