how many miles did you get out of the Mickey Thompson MTZ's? and which ones do you like better for everyday use?

No snow yet, but it's hit the 20's a few times so far. Guess I have to put my winter wheels on this weekend.

This will be my first winter as well with an F-150 in snow and ice. I know some people sand bag the beds and some people brave it. I'm still undecided. Guess I'll know if I start sliding that I need weight in the back. I would think that with the short 5.5' bed and it being a Screw that it should have a more even weight distribution than a Scab with a 6.5' bed.

With 4x4, there really isn't a need to put weight in the bed. A little sand may be smart, just in case you get stuck on ice.

Just a dusting here but confirming that summer is gone and winter is near.
Snow blower and snow shovels are both tuned up and ready.
Let the good times roll.

In my truck I have never felt the need to bag the rear, But I have a super crew with 5.5 box, and GVW of 7200lbs, ha plenty of weight for traction Maybe if someone had a single cab with and 8ft box....

yeah as soon as winter starts here in the great white north its constant snow and ice (never bare pavement) and I have never put weight in the back.
