Planning to order a Lariat today with 20". I am trying to decide if I should go with OWL or BSW. I know OWL is Good Year All Adventure all terrain with Kelver. BSW is Hankook ATM. What are your thoughts on Hankooks? My old Ram had Good year Kelver and I had no complaints about it. Just thought that Hankook ATM looked little "rugged" than Good Year. Any thoughts would be appreciated!!
it will be lease. So I don't do any kind of mods except Linex.
My set of Goodyear Duratrac's were the best I've ever had in the snow as far as All Terrain tires go. However, the sidewall on the tires are thin. I punctured 2 sidewalls & haven't had a set since. If you do a Google search, you'll see this is more a common problem then people here will tell you. I've since switched to Nitto Ridge Grapplers & absolutely love them. Haven't tried them in any deep snow yet, just a couple inches up in the mountains, but they handle great, have plenty of wet/dry/snow traction & are not noisy at all (unlike my Duratracs).
I run that on some steel rims I purchased with the tires. No complaints. I drive about 90 miles each day through country roads that are not plowed. They held up fine. No weight in the back of the truck, just used the 4x4 when warranted.
I run with Cooper Discoverer M+S studded, we have lot of snow and ice here in Québec.
These are exactly what I have also, just no studs. These tires are awesome. I have a plow on my truck and we got a lot of snow last winter with a couple of storms close to 2'. These tires worked great.
Not a dedicated winter tire but I am running Cooper Discoverer Xt/4's, they tested very well when compared to a Firestone Winterforce, have lots of sipes but also come with a 90,000KM treadlife warranty. I am running 275/60R20
I run a set of General Grabber Artics with studs on 18in steelies. They do good on the cold, wet, frozen stuff and on hard pack they are amazing. However in the really deep fluffy stuff they pack up and get a little slick. If your concern is black ice and cold temps, more than deep snow pack, I certainly recommend the generals. If you are trying to claw through feet of snow however, I had much better luck with my goodyear duratracs on my 85 F250.

My truck came equipped with some Hankook Dynapro ATM (non severe winter rated, OF COURSE!) and where we live it is mandatory between December and March so I have done my research and will grab a set of Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 in the 275/60r20 size. From what I read, these are one of the best all season winter rated tires out there!
Had some Duratracs on my previous truck and hated the noise after only a few thousand miles on it. The geolandar are less aggressive but seem to be much more aggressive, performant on road, long lasting & better on fuel mileage. Plus, the price is great!

I ran these on my Tahoe last winter they performed very well.
