I ran studded Firestone Winterforce on a SRW service truck before and was happy with them.

I agree, I too run the Firestone Winterforce studded on my one ton SRW and I like them. I ran Nokia’s Hakkapelittas too but non studded and they were good.

Had my new studded nokians on some very icy roads last couple of days. Very impressed! Best winter tires I’ve had so far.

So first day with them.........

Just wait till they loose a couple mils and report back.

3rd season for my Hakks, at 50% mark, 2500HD, still very happy with them. Any winter tire will loose traction as the tread wears out. On my 1 ton dually plow truck I have Uniroyal HDT's, around 40% tread, 5th winter, I have no problem with them, but no where near the bite as when they were new.

Hmmmm, might have to spend some coin on winters next fall.

Put them on in October. About 6k on them now. Front studs are a little chewed up from turning on the dry roads but the rears are still like new. Haven’t lost any studs that I can see. All in all very impressed so far.

They are great tires.

I kinda explained what happened to mine in a different thread.

I wish I would have kept closer track of how many km per mil and when the snowflake disappeared.

Based on what happened to yours I’ll be watching mine like a hawk.

Non studded Hakks. On season 3 and at 50%. Still hold the road. Very pleased.

Been a long time for this post. Looking at Sailun winter tires. Question is should a guy stud or not stud.

It is hard to fine a tire that does it all i go back and forth from a ice tire to a deep snow tire . Just got the nokian hakkapeliitta lt3. I had the duratracs stud siped and grooved but they just shake so bad i just couldn't take it anymore. I seem to drive more on ice than deep snow . I know there will be time where i will miss the deep
snow traction of the duratracs .

They definitely shake yep, my only gripe about them, be looking to try something else once these ones are wore out but hard to go away from something that works so good

Put the cooper discoveries on, first impressions not impressed.
I was thoroughly disappointed with those tires... and they were studded.

On studded Goodyear winter commands now and have been quite happy. Put about 25,000km on last winter and very little even wear.

I looked at those saluns too... and meh I didn't care for them, and asked around a bit and the guys in the halfers liked em, and the guys in the heavier trucks that pulled a fair bit didn't, and they wore quicker than expected.
