I think it's a combination of the junk Handycaca's, and the lighter weight. I must mention that even my '12 with BFG KO2's with no weight was less than stellar as well, but still better than the ATM Handycaca's.
I threw 300# of sand bags in, and it was an improvement, but my initial impression of these junk tires has gotten in my mind, so I do not trust them for much except on pavement.
It wasn't asked for, but I've got DuraTracs on my RWD LSD Ranger, with 300# in there as well. The Ranger does much better than the 150, unless of course, I throw the 150 in 4X4.
Can't wait for these junkers to wear out, and get some decent tires on there.

I never ran my truck in winter with stock tires, but with duratracs it is a beast in anything except straight ice (what without studs isnt?)
I ironically have Hankook ATMs on my Jeep Commander and they are horrible in the snow, so bad that I havent driven it in weeks even though its my winter "beater".

My plan for this winter is to use my Ranger, as always, and maybe next year get some decent winter tires on the 150.
This is my first winter of retirement, so unless I absolutely have to get out, I won't. Man, that feels good at subzero and dark both ways.
Besides, Ruby Red get's dirty pretty fast.

Other than Specialty vehicles, like the GT350's that have PSS, the Raptor's that have KO2's, very few vehicles have good tires from the factory.

I bet the price difference pretty much put you on the floor.
