What tires are you runnin to the hill

[SLDHVN]

Goodyear Workhorse Extra Grip's (studded)are what we run on all of our heavyduty trucks, used for towing stock and snowmobile trailers, these tires stand up to it all...

99 ford f-250 diesel- farm rig
04 Chevy DMAX- chips, tuners
06 Chevy DMAX- chips, tuners

These are all trucks that get used on a daily basis on and off road and ya cant beat those tires down....

Those finnis tires lick

My dad had a set of those nokiens or what ever there called and he still says to this day that the were the absolute worst tire he has ever had. rotated religously and never abused lasted 40K k's. POS!!!! he is now rinning a set of dick cepek FC 2's and is very happy with them. all be it that their not the best snowtires... I personaly am running my factory BFG AT's that came with my truck in a 31/10.5/15 size, run cooper STT in a 33 for summer. Boath are great tires. I have ran the STT a bit just this month in the Okanagan's freak March snow falls and they do ok but I wouldn't ever run them all season, and my.I don't exactly know how the BFG'2 are for halling as I don't often take my truck to the hill seeing as I can only fit my own sled in the back, but the get me up silver star all winter no prob. I am considering a set of cooper MS snow tires for next season as the BFG's are getting pretty thundered. Does any one have any experience with these? The nokieans were on a 2007 Ford F150 FX4 Off road by the way and the BFG's and DC's are on my o7 ranger FX4 level 2!

Discount Tire/America’s Tire offers the revolutionary tire “Siping” procedure. Here's how siping works:
Saf-Tee® siping cuts slits, called sipes, at 90° angles across the tread, providing thousands of gripping edges for better traction and stopping power. Wear-robbing heat and hydroplaning are also minimized.

Once again a visit to SW forum is a learning experience.

315/75/R16 TOYO MT ona 3/4 ton dodge.....excellent tires imo...spendy, but worth it

 

[DIESELPOWER613]

I had toyo mt's but they suck so bad in the snow. They are quite down the road but otherwise they suck. I have a set of 37x20x12.5 NITTO MUD GRAPPLERS and they are amazing.

 

[doodah]

Do any of these tires last longer than 1 season? My Powerstroke chews through rear tires to the tune of 1 set per season and it is a stock '08 model. My previous '02 with a chip did the same thing.

i run a 04 chipped PSD 6.0 and i went through a set of Toyo Open Country mall terrains in 1 year. I have had good luck with the Nitto Terra Grapplers, but i might try something different this time around. Might go with the pro comp Extreme M/T, or Interco M-16's, if they make a decent ply rating.

these are what I have run on my personal rigs since they came out(I do custom stud them with 650 studs in each tire though)with the studs they are even better..total control ..regardless of road conditions...had a set of BFg 12*35's with 1250 studs in each tire on my mud truck but never liked the greasy feel of the bfgs on ice....some of our work pickups we have been putting the cooper sst's on and they are very impressive in snow and ice....

 

[theultrarider]

I've got the cooper studded winter tires on mine and they amazing! There are very agressively siped as well as the studs. They ride quiet, very smooth, and have a couple of winters on them now and still look like new. Price is good on them as well!

 

[DaveB]

Ditto with theultrarider...all you guys with the mud tires stay outta the way on the snow and ice. REAL Cooper snow tires with studs are the winter way to go.

 

[CDA_RMK]

I had toyo mt's 33 45,000 on them need new ones any one run the at

 

[Vern]

i to am thinkin about gettin a new set of rubbers for my truck. the sumitomos or whatever the hell they are called that came with it really suck in the snow. i have had mud tires in the past and although they look cool and do good in the deep snow and mud they were horrible on the ice or lightly snow covered roads so im gonna stick with an all terrain. i was thinkin about tryin some M/T baja ATZ's as they are still a decent lookin tire but look to have a decent amount of siping and such to. i've heard they are good tires but they are spendy.

 

[kingofthemountain]

Bought some cooper winter tires for my jeep and will soon be putting a pair on my truck. By far the best snow tire I've ever had. Great siping dont need to pay dealer to do it

 

[Kristifer]

I'm running Cooper SSTon factory wheels and keep the chrome for the summer. So far the best tire I ever bought. Most of the time I keep in 2 wheel drive.

 

[crestview]

I put new tires on in November. I have been running Toyo MT for a few years and decided I didn't like the price so I tried a set of Hankook Dynapro MT tires. They are almost a $100 a tire cheaper and so far so good. Its still to early to tell but they are a 10 ply tire with an agressive tread. Figure I can almost run 3 sets of these or 2 toyos so we will see what kind of milage I get out of them. Here is a pic below.

I really like my BFG all terrain's for traction all around, but they don't last real long when your pulling a big load, but they are three ply sidewalls so they hold up to our farm use. I ran a set of those General Grabber AT2's like the guy said earlier and I couldn't keep them from going flat. I would have holes in the sidewalls all the time, because they were only two ply sidewalls, not three. I am definately open to trying something different if it would last longer than the BFG's.

I've been running the Cooper Discoverer STT's for the past couple years and all my buddys run them too. We're not the tippicle sledders that are always driving to a plowed snow park we pretty much brake our own trails to where we wanna ride and i have never had a problem with them we all drive dodge ford or gm diesels and usually always have at least four sleds behind and i have yet to get stuck or have yet to have any road stop me. I recomend the cooppers they are by far the best i have ran toyo's and bfgs and i have had the best luck with the coopers.

285-75-18 toyo mt's siped (35-11.50-18) never a problem usualy never lock in the hubs

I belive 285/75/18's are 33x11.5x18s aren't they? not 35s?

I run 285/75/17 BFG AT's on my 04 f150 and I love them

 

[dooxtreme]

Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO I have been running BFG AT's and had some workmanship issues with them. I switched over to Bridgestone's and love them. 50,000 mile warranty and normally get around 40,000+ miles out of them with most of that pulling with my Duramax with a chip. The down side is they are spendy compared to other tires. They are also E load rated. The Revo's have good traction in the snow and ice and are also fairly quiet on the road. For tire info and peoples opion of tires look at the Tirerack.com. Seem to have good info on tires.

 

[drdiesel]

My 99 ford powrstok has pro comp xtreme muds and they last one year and have 40,000 miles. these have been the best tire i have found for my application. oh forgot to mention my truck wieghts in at 11500 lbs all the time. cant sipe with that much wieght and dont need stud just sticks to ground

I belive 285/75/18's are 33x11.5x18s aren't they? not 35s?

I run 285/75/17 BFG AT's on my 04 f150 and I love them

on a 16" rim yes a 285/75 is a 33x11.5, but on the bigger rims it will be a bigger tire. for example on an 18" rim a 33x11.5 would probably be something like 285/60 or so. the 75 part means that the sidewall is 75% as tall as the tire is wide so a 285/75/18 would thus be bigger around than a 285/75/16 since they are both the same width and have the same 75% ratio on the sidewall the side wall would be the same height from rim to tire so with the 2" bigger rim the overall tire size would be 2" bigger. does that make sense?

so your 285/75/17 would probably be about a 34x11.5
