Best winter A/T tire

[Justin33]

I know this has been explained a million times but I really need to find a tire this week had brother duratracs 275 60 20…and they got me thru an inspection. The fronts are cupped now and she needs new shoes and alignment. I was going to possibly do duratracs again but can’t find them anywhere in a 35. I’ve also been thinking of wildpeaks but kind of like the duratracs aggressive tread. I’ve also heard Toyo AT3 throw out by a member and even. I’ve even checked out Mickey Thompson BajaBoss. Generally just need something safe that I feel like the gf can drive truck and not end up in the ditch.

Wildpeaks are a way better tire than duracraps, esp in snow/winter conditions. General Grabber atx is another. BFG KO2 in the softer compound.

Feel like I’ve heard a lot of **** talk on KO2? Wildpeaks are a better tire then duratracs?

IDK maybe, I ran a set of KO2’s and loved them. I chase pow in the winter, skiing is my passion and they delivered me through the nastiest of weather. I needed a new set of snow tired but actually didn’t buy a set I was so impressed that winter.
Yes, W Peaks are better imho. Hated the Dcraps. Well they were pretty good in mud so there’s that.

The BFG are the best I've found in the snow and are fine for wear on the half tons. The toyo in my experience last longer, but you give up a bit of winter and wet traction to the harder compound. I'll go toyo next time myself, but I run dedicated snows in the winter so the winter traction is less of a concern for me and I run a lot of gravel roads that chew up softer tires. A lot of guys on here swear by the Falkens and a couple people I know have them, but not long enough yet to know how they hold up. I have nitto ridge grapplers at the moment and I definitely noticed I didn't have winter tires on the few times I've had them in the snow. Fine in "snow" , but once it's driven on and becomes ice they're not very good. The BFG still aren't as good as designated snow tires, but compared to every other all terrain I've run they're the closest to it.

I have had KO2, wildpeak at3w, Toyo AT2, at3 and RT as well as the stock duratracs and I like RT's the best even tho all were good and better than Duratracs. if you want something more aggressive look at the Toyo MT. one thing about Toyo you can use them for 45 days or 500 miles and if you don't like them for any reason you get your money back including labor. nobody else does that.

Love my Toyo's.....

Wildpeaks at -30 no problems.

I personally run Wildpeaks. But except for the freak snowstorm in 2021, my road issues are water and ice. So cannot profess on snow, but during the freak storm, I was motoring through 8" of snow and ice no problem. Also helps to know how to drive in dat stuff and proper PSI on tires also.

for my money I go with General Grabber APT, It has the 3 peak designation so your insurance company will honor any discounts for winter tires ( some insurers don't classify M&S or all terain as winter approved). It has the AT tire look but it performs more on the highway and doesn't have a whole lot of sound when driving. Very smooth drive and excellent life even in the summer on hot pavement. Great in rain.
I have had them on my jeep grand cherokee and never got stuck with them even doing off road. Soon as my truck needs new shoes I am going with them again.
Did I mention they won't suck your wallet clean? My opinion but I have used them for a while with all variety of driving and locales.
