I was at kal tire and Canadian tire today ordering tires for a couple of different vehicles. I took my tread depth gauge with me. I measured the tread depth of the 18” BFG k/o2 truck tires in both stores. The ones at Canadian tire were 2/32” shallower tread depth than the ones at kal tire. Both 2018 date coded.

I ran the Cooper discovery M&S (Non Studded) on my 17 Limited 150. Worst winter tire I have ever had.
My Kids 150 with Blizzacks would hold the road way better. The comparison is like going from a summer tire to a winter tire. I would never buy Cooper garbage again.
Now for my 350 I have been running Hankook ATM 305 55 20s for years. Just bought a set for my new F350 and they have the snowflake on them. (Cant say I remember seeing the before)
My 350 with the Hankooks holds the road better on ice than my 150 with Cooper discovery's did. I run the Hankooks year round on my 350's and get about 80,000K to a set. Usually ready for a new set at the start of the second winter.

Does anybody have any experience with the Falken Wildpeak AT3W on a HD truck? Wondering how they are towing trailers, and how they are in winter? I would be looking to use them year round.
