Snow Tires Make All the Difference

[NHXRUNNER]

Exhibit A:

7" of unplowed snow + 1.75" Sittin Sic (XII Performance) Drop Coils + 2.25" Sittin Sic (XII Performance) Mono Leafs + Hakkapeliitta Rs= X-Runner Snow Plow

I don't want to ever hear that these trucks aren't good in the snow.

Are you actually driving through snow drifts? If so how is the body kit holding up?

I did yesterday because I didn't have a choice. Luckily it was very light and fluffy or I wouldn't have dared. Body kit took it like a champ. :top:

I run 4 Toyo snow on mine and I do watch for the snow banks( we had some rain and every thing froze solid). The posy rear end makes a big difference.

I might buy hakkas next year. Have only heard good things about them.

You put any thing in the bed?

 

[blackx-runner]

I'm still on my blizzaks that I bought when the truck was new in 05. Those have done awesome for me.
I run about 400 lbs of sand and salt in the bed during the winter. Never had issues getting around.

400lbs good gawd! Thats almost half the max payload for the bed.... the fuel pump must love you!!

best winter tires period! so many times i've made it up snow covered roads that i couldn't with my previous winter tires and they're dead silent on the hwy unlike most others. only drawback is they're really expensive

Go for it bud. Awesome tire. As for weight, nothing right now. When I wasn't fishing as much during the winter I'd put my summer rims in the bed.

I ran a set of Blizzaks....great tires as well. I'd have to say these are even a bit better. :top:

Worth every penny though. When you make it up hills that AWD vehicles aren't, you know you're doing something right.

I bought Michelin Pilot Sport All Season Plus 255/45 ZR18,and love them. We had 9 inches of snow last week and no issues with only about 150 lb.s in the rear. I had to actually jump on it pretty hard trying to break loose the back tires.
Last year the tires I had I was lucky to get to work one night with 3 inches of snow. And was slipping and sliding every where.

Meh, redneck lowering kit.

Actually it doesn't drop it much at all.

 

[Judas]

when you say hakkapeliita R....is the R2 the same thing?
and what size tire is that? 255/55/R18?

 

[NHXRUNNER]

255/45/18.....and no, I have the R not R2.

 

[Judas]

but the R is discontinued right?
So is the R2 maybe it's replacement? is the tread similar to yours?

 

[NHXRUNNER]

Still on their website....

 

[Judas]

do you have a link? I cant find it.
maybe they're only available in the U.S?

 

[Judas]

Nvm, I actually found a review comparing the R vs the R2.
Thank you.
