Guys forgive me if I missed a previous thread on this subject but was wondering what most people selected for a winter rubber. I currently have summer Sumitomo HTR Z 3 on the truck and this will be my first winter with my X.

Thanks!

You don't get much of a winter down that way in Alabama. I run on Toyo country up my way.

I've run blizzaks since 05. Never once had a problem getting around in the snow.
Look at picking up a set of 15-16" wheels to mount them on. Much cheaper buying rubber in that size, and saves the wear and tear on the good ones.

I ran the blizzaks for 2 sets. Loved em! Now I've got the Hakkapillitta Rs and love em even more than the blizzaks. Can't go wrong with either.

truck has probably seen close to 50K worth of winter driving.....they're winters, they wear a lot faster than summers. Just put the Nokians on for last winter

I run the same ones. Mine are mounted on 15 steel rims. I have had zero problems with mine. I've climbed hills that I thought I'd never get up in our trucks.

I run my stockers. I've got 255/45/18 Hakka Rs. I put my summer rims in the bed under the tonneau for weight and she's great in the snow.
