I have read some of the threads for tires but was looking for something specific for my extra rims. Stock size now is 285/60/20 on 8" wheels, thinking about 275/65/20 on same offset 9" wheels which I already have or maybe 285/65 or some combo that has a little taller sidewall without rubbing. Lots of guys running 295/60's already on stock height dodges but prefer stock width or less for winters.
I have run Duratracs on two separate trucks and I found they tend to cup and wear funny and I only ran them in winter. I ran the old KO's for a few winters and they were not as good as the Duratracs. I still am looking for something with a semi open A/T design like those for the early season staging area drives and snow covered highways. I haven't ever run siped mud terrains but I do see that is getting to be popular.
We have the new BFG KO2's on some of our work trucks. They appear to be wearing well through 20-25k on lighter trucks. I am open to those. I am also looking at the Toyo CT's. I have seen a few sets of those and driven trucks with them so I know they are decent enough. Both the KO2's and CT's have the snowflake.
The Hankook Dynapro RF10's as an example are not aggressive enough for what I prefer. They do not clear out snow as well, or mud in spring conditions. Lots of guys like the M55's but I find those to be more a highway tread than their comparable CT's and sizing is an issue with the M55's. Even though these are my second set for winter only, that is still 6 months of the year, so they need to last.
Thoughts?
