    I bought a Chen Shin 829 knobby and a pair of 828 "Lumberjacks" for my 200s from BikeBandit. About $120 shipped. The 2 Lumbebrjacks would have come in just under $90. All in 22x11x8.
    I just mounted them on the rims last week. The 200s is inop so I have not ridden them.
    I was surprised by how different they are. Both types are 2PR, but the knobby is a great, light, flexible balloon knobby. The lumberjacks are stiffer and heavier - probably a great rough trail tire.

    You can get the Cheng Shin C829 for $108 shipped from Dennis Kirk. If you check their site, there's quite a few different tread patterns around that same price.

    The only problem is that the shipping prices are higher because we are in Canada.

    And me, personally ,I do see a big difference between a knobby tire and a tire with a snow/mud tread....the knobby being inferior in the mud and snow...just my opinion from my own personal experience. I really like the Mud-Lite and the Wooley-Booger type tires. I like the thought of having the 6-ply Mud-Lites when I'm way back in the woods.

    tires i got on right now looks pretty much the same as wooley-booger and i find them slippery in snow,maybe the snow is too crusty these day...
    i also got duro knobby on my 200s ,great grip on hard trail and dirt but thats not but what im looking for. but once again they are way cheaper
    ill check their price at my local dealer to compare with other websites.

    You can also check www.royaldistributing.com They are in Ontario and they usually ship very fast....but I find around here, it's cheaper to just go to a local ATV shop. There are always lots of ads in Kijiji and LesPAC for new tires from some of the local shops.

    What area of Quebec are you in?

    nobbies will make due in snow, but they tend to load right up cause the lugs are spaced so tightly. There are much better mud/snow tires out there. But for economical purposes you wont find a cheaper tire than your average nobbie. I am surprised you say your wooly booger style tires dont grip. i find these to perform much better in the snow than a nobbie.
