well, you should have said that then so many guys say "my tires are the best" when that's the only ones they ever used...
maybe i'll call you when the Blizzaks wear out, which shouldnt take too long based on the reviews I read

Don't always base it on what you hear cause it all depends who's driving on them. The Blizzaks are a good aggressive tire 😉you'll see soon enough. Get back to me after you use them a couple months.

That's BS about them running hot 🔥 under that suggested psi. Run them at 40psi you'll have a nice ride and no issues. Only increase the pressure when your carrying weight 😉

FWIW
I ice raced and or spec tire was Blizzaks.
I have to agree they perform better with higher pressure. I would also argue that they do not wear quickly. Granted we run exclusively on ice but we run the ***** out of of them. Under hard race conditions with good traction we torn chunks out of them but they actually started to perform even better like that.
I dont race anymore so have no allegiance to them with sponsorship but would recommend them to anyone. What we were able to do on pure ice with them was nothing short of amazing.

Most M/T rated tire are bad in snow...but still better then summer tire.
I always had 2wd truck (2 ranger, and my fx2(opendiff)) and never had an issue unless I though I was REALLY trying too hard to get stuck.
Don't think you're in a 4wd and you'll be fine.

I've got Goodyear Duratracs and rarely need 4HI. Like, almost never.
That being said I have the FX4 with a limited slip diff. An open diff will really hurt. Is it possible to sway axles? Someone here will know

They are no comparison to real snow tires but very good in the winter.
As an option, they can be studded which would make them a badass winter truck tire. Great on ice and hard packed as well as deep snow. That would, of course, make them a winter only tire. My next set will be Dura Tracs with studs. My current set is not studded and no one will stud used tire for fear of breaking the stud gun due to crap being in the stud pockets.

weight is never an advantage.
maybe it give you a tiny bit more traction go start from a stop...but if the rear break loose, it's harder to have it come back on track!
