Best winter A/T tire

[HEMIMANN]

I use Tire Rack ratings to separate the good from the bad, at least. You also get the relative price differences, and buyer reviews.

I have the Goodyear ultraterrain from discount tire and love them. Great tread, great price, and 3PSF.

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.

I just put a set of Sumitomo encounter AT I read reviews and saw what I liked and do some plowing so hope they get me through what ever we get in winter

I also had a set of Sumitomo Encounter AT on my 2500 Ram Diesel, over 50,000 kms and they were great on snow and ice ( as long as I was driving to the road conditions). For a 10ply tire I was really impressed with the traction and the grip in snow. Even did my fair share of pulling out vehicles from the ditches.

Christmas 2021 i bought myself a set of Nokian Outposts 275/65R20's AT's.. Brand new model tires, finally showed up late Feb and have kept them on ever since. Weren't cheap in these parts but bite snow good, no different than the factory Wranglers for highway noise in summer months either. KO's are decent tires also but to much whirrr for me..

I’m sold on Kenda Klever RTs. I just put on a new set of 35x12.5 R20 F and only cost $1,100 for the set of 4. These do great all year around and are very quiet despite the aggressive looking tread. The tread is also one of the deepest you can get. Also they are already pinned for studs if you want to run them in icy areas. View attachment 508239

I’ve seen some guys at work with these. Kind of wonder how they do in the snow.

I was hoping someone would chime in with experience on the Yokohama Geolanders my Warlock came with...

I’m on my second set of Wildpeaks on my ‘15 and love them still. I’ve gotten around just fine, even in over a foot of snow.

Have you run these all year? How is the road noise? With the deep lugs are they squishy feeling on corners? Are they buzzy feeling on the steering wheel? Curious about summer use as well. Looking to replace my nitto ridge grapplers next spring so curious about this tire as a replacement. Thanks!

I have had great luck with Bridgestone Dueler ATs in the past and have gotten 80k+ out of a set with good tread remaining. I live in ND and I’m VERY familiar with winter driving. I run a lot of miles and live in the country so my driving is mostly highway and gravel with some town driving. I run around +/- 100k miles per year between a few pickups and have ran virtually every major AT tire at one time or another. I run Wildpeak ATs on my Ram dually and would/will get them again. They are awesome in snow and ice as well as towing 20k+ pounds in all weather and conditions (including snow and/or mud). Also have a F350 7.3 SRW with BFG ATs and while they serve me in snowy/off-road conditions (can crawl through snow up to the doors without spinning tires) I have friends who’ve complained about mileage drops and poor wearing with these tires on theirs. I’ve always heard great things about Coopers (made in USA) but personally I had one issue with a brand new one not being round when installed - however once that issue was resolved they were fine, but didn’t keep the pickup around long enough to test longevity.
