I know it doesn't mean anything, but I prefer the looks of the duratracs. I really think anyway you go should be sufficient for winter driving. There is a video review of the duratracs on youtube done by SSGM, and they seem to like them.

DuraTrac's are the only tire that come in a 295/65-18 for us with the 18" wheel.

Thanks for the input. Ya, there's not much snow on the ground up here. It's the ice that u really have to worry about. I guess I'll pick up a set of chains and leave them in the bed just in case

My vote would be for the Good Year Wrangler silent Armour. Had these on my GMC and they were awesome in our Saskatchewan winters (they are a winter rated all season) When the stock tires on my 2011 F150 are done that's what I'm putting on again.

Just installed these yesterday. BFG's in 275/65R20. They sit 33.5" tall, as compared to the Pirelli 55 series at 31".

I've never had much luck with the BFG's in the waer catagory. I currently run the Duratracks on my '12 Limited and on a couple of our Superdutys and love them.
