Default snow tires

16 platinum with the stock Hankook tires...not too impressed. Poor wet traction so far, with winter coming I am thinking of a set of snow tires. anyone have any recommendations? looking at the blizzak dm v2 right now as an option.

anybody have experience changing out to snow tires?

I live in Alaska and I have these exact tires, got them at Costco. I ran them all last winter and was very pleased. I also put 360lbs of sand bags in the back for extra traction.

I got a winter tire package from the dealer with my Lariat 4x4 and they are the Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice WRT. I live in Canada, in one of the worst winter driving areas and they are very good. I don't put weight in the back and I try and use 2WD as much as possible throughout the winter to save gas and the truck still performed really well. In 4A, amazing. In 4H, unstoppable.

I have Blizzak DM-V1s on my wife's AWD Highlander and they are amazing.

I would have gone with the DM-V2s or the Nokians for my truck if I didn't just go with what the dealer was providing simply from experience with the DM-V1s and reviews on Tire Rack.

In all honesty, any winter tire will blow your mind if you went through a winter on all-seasons. Money extremely well spent.

I can't speak for them yet, but I'm considering getting some Michelins Latitude X-Ice Xi2 for a winter set for my 2wd. Price/Reviews seem to be pretty good.

I run General Grabber Arctic (not the Arctic LT) in the winter on a set of 18" XLT Sport wheels. They are cheap from Tire Rack and work very well in the really cold/icy snow. They don't make that much of a difference in really deep snow (like 8"+).

I had GY Wrangler Dura Tracs on my '05 and loved them. Going with the Toyo Open Country AT2 right now, had them siped so we'll see how they do.

I have the DM-V2 mounted on an extra set of wheels. Put them on in November and 350lb of weight in the bed. Get around great and this is on a two wheel drive.
