I have a 21 Platinum need to change the tires they ride great but are very bad in the snow any suggestions as I hate to lose the ride and have a noisy tire

Thanks

 

How about getting a set of snow tires? I only have one set for my last truck, BFG KO2, they are great tire but for the 95% of the time where I don't need that great of a traction, I end up wasting extra fuel. this time I got some cheap 17" take offs and will have a dedicated set of snow tires. Another benifit is I can just rotate tires as I switch from summer to winter.

 

What tire brand do you have now on your truck.

 

Thanks
for comment but I do not have the room to store a 2nd set of tires and rims

 

Hankook

 

The Hancooks are terrible on snow. Even when new. Thats what I got from the factory.

I'd like to replace my tires with Michelins but they are reworking their 20 inch tires and new equivalent seems unavailable. Using my fordpass points as well is desireable....So I'm holding on until the new Michelins come in. Plan B is a Continental.....I

 

well luckily Hankook makes multiple tire models...Any of the stock tires are going to be prioritizing fuel economy and ride quality, aka they're not good off pavement.

 

I've just ordered a set of Michelin Defender LTX MS2 which hopefully will be in shortly. If I lived in the snow free area, I'd put up with the Hancooks over winter but I'm in New England and at some point this winter its going to snow. My insurance deductible is $1k. These tires will cost me $1,288...... gulp.

Sure hope they last alot longer than the 25K the Hancooks gave me.

 

If you're looking for ATs, stock tires on the Tremors are General Grabber ATx. I ran those for years on Tacomas up in Minnesota and Wisconsin and they are nice in the snow and tame on the highways.

 

I second the dedicated snow tire idea. I have 18" wheels from a 2018-2020 truck that I have Blizzak DM-V2s on.

This truck came with the Hankook AT2s just like my last one. They were okay for daily driving, but I never tried them in the winter, and they wore super fast.
