Winter Tire

Need to get a good set of tires for winter. What do you guys run for a winter/snow tire? Im thinking about a set on bfg A/T KO or Nitto Terra Grapplers. Need a good set because I got a 2wd this year.

Depends on the size, but Nokian and Cooper make a great snow tire.

Currently running a 265/75/16. May be able to fit a 285/75/16. Are you talking about the cooper discoverer m+s?

Yes, that is the tire I was refering to.

On a 2wd diesel truck, this is the only tire you'll find that will work at all:

BFG A/T and the Duratracs work awesome!

I use General Grabber AT2. Much cheaper than BFG's and almost identical tread.

If you want a great E rated tire that is great in the snow, it's hard to beat the Duratracs. The A/T KO's suck, the Nitto's suck, and the Cooper STT's are nothing great either.

I'm strictly talking about street driving in the winter. Off road, those tires would all function fairly well, but on icy/snowy pavement its hard to beat the Duratracs. Trust me, winter in Alberta is no joke...

Cooper S/T kicks a$$ and is studdable if your just gonna run for winter.

These are very good too. We stud them and run them on plow trucks!

I was also thinking about the General grabber at2.

Is anyone running treadwrights?

Snow? Oh yea, that white stuff that we see sometimes. Almost as rare as rain
around here.

There was an article in diesel power that showed the results of tires in the snow.

I ran a set of the howler mt tires from treadwright. Very awesome in the snow. My uncle put a set on his plow truck and only needed 4x4 when we got a wet sticky heavy snow.... lasted about 50k too..

I really think im going to order the treadright warden A/T.

i would get the howlers if your only driving a 2wd... the guard dog second and then maybe the wardens... the howlers are unreal for snow....

I think the at would be better than the mt for me.

Ok.. those howlers are unreal though in ALL conditions
