How many are running a winter set of tires and wheels then switch over to a summer set? Here in Utah the winters can ruin a nice set of wheels in one winter of driving.

I will be running my stock Platinum wheels and tires for the winter set. I just orders Moto Metal 961 wheels and Toyo Open Country A/T ll for my summer set. Having the ring on the inside of the 961 wheel painted to match my truck color. Now spring can't get here fast enough

I run the stock wheels in the winter and the nicer ones during the good weather. My nicer ones are from a later model F150. Found them complete with good tires at CraigsList.

I got a set of steel wheels from the dealer to mount my winterforce lt for this winter (had been running theses tires last 2 years on my f250 work truck and liked them a lot) and running my stock wheels and tires in the summer

I would love to someday, but that's a lot of cash to drop at the moment. I'll get through my first winter stock.

There are many take off sets of wheels and tires on Craigs List for sale and some of the lower model sets are very cheap. You can usually get wheels and good tires for $350 and less. One winter in the northeast really does a job on nice wheels.

Daum...I like both of your choices

Already looked. Most are parts for much older F150s. Des Moines isn't as big on CL as it is other cities.

I would say there's not much benefit to swapping rims winter for summer as long as you're keeping it clean.

i used to run a winter/summer tire rotation in Michigan but the winter tires are soft and really wear fast if the roads are dry and the temps are above 15-20f which they often are in Michigan.

I ran them on a high performance rear wheel drive car that would be scary on ice/snow otherwise. Would accelerate and pass around 4x4's in the snow. For that vehicle there was no other option.

I really like the performance of winter tires with a lot of siping and soft rubber but I'm not in the arctic circle where I can rely on a solid winter season. So I feel like a good all season is my best choice for a truck that will perform well enough.

When I lived in ak I did, had a set of 20x10 american racing motto rims black on 36s for the summer and for the winter had a set of 16x10 procomps rock crawlers black with 35s studded and siped. Not cheap but that setup would kick butt in the snow and ice.
