Sounds like my northeast twin. I have an '87 244/M47 running 185/70/14 Nordfrost II on the rear and some all season BFG's up front, which are about due for replacement after this season. Last year in the Washington DC area I NEVER got stuck during the big 2 day, ~2ft. snowfall. I've already made it through a minor storm this year that dropped about 5". You're absolutely right that they just never quit on snow. I keep pushing the limit, and I keep getting through. I may get two more for the front, although i'm considering a different tire that will have stiffer sidewalls since I'm used to driving on 205/50/15's. Possibly 195/60/14's.
