Looking for opinions for tires, my duratrac knock offs are completely toast. They're so out of round it shakes my truck apart. Need high load rating, studded, winter tires. 275/70r18

Just get the studded Hakk's and be done with it! They are amazing.

I put a set of Goodyear Winter commands on my 1 ton and have been very happy with them, studded in that size from Foutain tire was $1600 installed but that was fall of 2020.

LOVING the Firestone studded winter tires from Chrisco…
Not sure I would say that yet…
I put the studded Winterforce LT on my 1ton. They’re a little soft for my liking…

My choice would be the studded General Arctic LT. Had them on my last truck and they were great 👍🏻

I have these also. It’s my first set of dedicated winters but no complaints! Second season on them. Their ice performance has been decent. Was pretty impressed with their performance on packed mash patato’s or loose snow pulling my big trailer in my yard or staging areas.

$1,969 and change for those tires. Ouch they're not even anything special. Nor a big tire.
Great tires though worth the money.

The other Toyo MT. Is a all season tire, harder rubber. Not at all comparable to the hakk winter tire. An all season or snowflake tire is for multiple seasons. If your throwing on a set of winter tires that you change in the spring then why not get a set of winter designated tires. Soft rubber, lots of sypes and studs. There not good to run in the summer but we're talking about winter tires. I used to be all season tires brainwashed then I went to the mountains a few times with SBR and summitric who ran winter designation tires and I'm 100% sold. No comparison.

What's your opinion on studded vs nonstudded? Like you said, if you are going for a winter tire, might as well get a winter tire, so get studded too?

I have a duratrac knock off tire muteki trail hog that i had studded and its my first tire i had studded. they aren't even a dedicated winter tire and my goodness did it make a difference. Day i got them on i pulled an unloaded superbee tanker up an off ramp that he had spun out on. Car's were struggling to get going. That convinced me. I have two sets of rims and tires and it makes it easy to switch them over back and forth. Worth the investment.
