Yeah, now we're talking - except for the hurricanes!

That's a large machine which does uniform/even micro-type sipes, correct??
I KNOW that a hand grooving, 'hot tire iron' like the WRC crews use to cut their tires for certain stages/conditions CANNOT cost that much coin!

I recommended the Firstone Destination AT. THey were by far the highest rated AT tire with a very statistically significant number of miles on them.
Hopefully they will work well. I figured that the siping along with the AT tread should be helpful. That size was still made in USA which sealed the deal for me. We will have to see how they do.

But the other kind takes too long! For Rallying, they have oodles of tires hanging around and plenty crew who can work while the car is running a stage.
