20" Pirelli tires
#51
After all the crappy reviews I read on here I didn't even give mine a chance. 200 miles in, I replaced with stock size KO2's and couldn't be happier. I would have replaced the pirellis anyway, and got $400 for them on Craigslist since they were basically new. Worth it to me, my KO2's have seen almost two feet of unplowed snow and then days with ice and they're great. Worth every penny.

My experience with the stock Pirelli's was OK, about what I expected from OEM tires. I replaced them at 41k miles but had it been summer I could have run them to 50k. I really had no complaints about them until this winter and the outer portions of them had worn enough they were scary in the snow. Regularly checked pressures and rotated every 5k miles.

No complaints from me other than they are too small. I really don't get all the bad reviews. They are quiet, ride smooth, and seem to last a decent amount of mileage. I don't offroad, and live in the south so rarely see snow.

I had these tires 275 55 20 on my truck since new, just hit 60,000 miles on them and replaced them with 275 65 20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2. They are a good road tire, but are horrible in the snow, horrible in the rain (wet pavement), and if you get into any mud at all, it can be a real pain in the rear to get enough traction with them to get yourself out (4x4-low and a lot of choice-words ).
I could have purchased the Pirellis again for about $100 less per tire than I got the G2's for, but again, they were no good whatsoever in the rain or snow.
Hope this helps

Might wanna get your alignment checked. Your camber could be off if it was smooth. If it was choppy then your toe. Don't want your new tires to do the same thing.

I have read alot of bad reviews and was very werry on using them but have had no problems at all with these in the snow! Living in the snow belt of ontario I see alot of snow and these haven't left me feeling nervous once, I guess it's all in how you drive and your knowledge of how to drive in the snow! I would just use them until they need to be replaced and if you don't like them, get different ones!

I have these on my fx4. I live southeast of Buffalo in a lake effect snow band. These tires are adequate at best. Saying that, my tires have 36k miles on them and this is their last winter. I need 4wd to get out of the uphill driveway or any deep stuff.
I plan on getting bfg a/t k02s with my level this fall.
