Good winter tire for 2500 Duramax

[johnr]

I only run one set of tires on my 4x4s, do you guys switch em out each season?
That was common on the old school rear wheel drive cars, didn't think it was done much anymore.

My pickup is for hauling/hunting otherwise I drive a gas saving little Taurus.

I have a 2nd set of rims/tires mounted for fall/winter (AT KO2), and run "highway" tires in the spring/summer for better mileage and fewer rocks thrown @ the boat.

2 Sets of rims/tires. One for snow and ice, one for all other seasons. With how stupid people drive in Fargo in the winter, A designated snow/ice tire is cheap protection from people that run "all season tires", when meeting at an intersection.

I have run the Hankook Dynapro ATM as well and they have been awesome tires for me overall but recently have switched over and am, on my second set of tires from Treadwright, their Warden tires and have been really impressed which is why I just bought a second set from them, can't beat the price. both sets were 560 bucks to my door for 17" E rated.

Don't see an 18'' tire on their site.

I've have dynapro ATM on my work truck for a year. I have been happy with them have decent traction and haven't been stuck with them yet. My 2500 dodge will be getting a set of them next spring. If they hold up good through the winter.

I run the Toyo Open country AT2's on my F250... got 50k off the last set I had... and if I'm not towing I'm probably hunting and off pavment but they run quiet on the highway also

Another vote for BF Goodrich K02's. They're about the toughest tire out there. I absolutely love mine. http://tirereviewteam.com/bfgoodrich-all-terrain-ta-ko2-review/

General Grabber AT2. the poormans BFG K/O's

 

[lunkerslayer]

If that's the case BF is over rated especially since their design has been changed multiple times if their that good why change. Also The grabbers come with more tread than the more expensive BF. Grabbers AT2 come ready to put in snow studs, yeah like I said BF Goodrich is over rated.

If most of your miles are going to be road miles mostly pavement then go with the Hankook Dyna pros, They are quieter than the BF goodrich tread which makes a fair amount of noise on the road.

Seems the Hankooks have gotten the vast majority of the votes here too next to the BF's, from my experience with both is Hankook if mostly road with occasional dirt and off road and if you wanted more dirt and off road with a split of pavement then i would suggest the Bf's either way you will be happy with either.

The OP asked for a winter tire, mostly highway and in town. Why would you chose an all terrain tire? Yes, that is the best option for all seasons, but this will be for a winter only tire that will be changed out in the spring. Get a good snow tire and don't look back.

 

[LBrandt]

General Grabbers AT2, 55 thousand miles on last set, get the job done year round, and no complaints.

I just had a truck come in with these. Have not seen them before but look to fit the bill perfect.

I would not put soft winter rubber tires on a 3/4 ton ....not if I expected to do any pulling over the winter

Why not? I pull all the time with my f-250 with snow tires in the winter. As long as they are 10 ply or 120 load rating, they will work as recommended.

not saying you can't do it...I wouldn't do it...I guess I like to get something out of what i pay for...I can't image a snow tire on a 3/4 ton pulling things often lasting more than 10,000 miles ... I would rather spend the money on a good A/T tire and get 50,000 out of them

I replaced my first set with 35K on them. My current set has 15K and will see at least another 20. I replace them when the tread depth hits 5/32nds. It also saves on my ATM's

They are an E rated tire. With a 50,000 mile tread warranty.

Tough to beat the BF's ,but they are pure crap after 1/2 worn. Had 2 sets on my 1/2 ton, and 2 on 2500 duramax. Same results. Will not buy again, switching to the dynapro or Firestone destination

Hankook has a mail in Rebate on the I-Pike RW11. Great winter tire, if anyone cares.
