    with all this snow im thinking I MIGHT have to get some new shoes for the truck before spring, was hoping to get through winter.

    Im already noticing that there aren't many options for 34"-35" tires with an 18" rim.

    heres what im looking at, trying to get a decent price but not sacrifice quality.


    anyone had these before? tread life???

    can go with BFGs again like my last 2 sets but I wouldn't mind trying something new.

    tread life on these?? not really a fan of goodyear tires, had bad luck in the past BUT my brother put a set of these on his wrangler and they look bad ass, handle pretty well too. most expensive tire.

    Duratracs are Great, but I'm loving my Hankooks and they're a lot cheaper. Not sure of sizes in 18s though. Look for 285-70-18

    I would do the duratracs out of those options. Could try the BFG KO2, or TOYO Open Country AT2

    My nittos have been pretty good but the longer I've owned them the more I realize how nonagressive they look. Dura tracks or bfgs get my vote

    I like the nittos but you should look at the trail grappers

    I loved my duratracs in the snow!!! Highly recommend them. Mud, snow, rain, sleet, whatever mother nature threw at me, they handled it.

    They wear a lot better than you might think. 45k miles on mine and they still look great. I'm considering some Cooper discoverer at's for my new truck though.

    my general grabber AT2s are freaking awesome in the snow. I do have them studded but ive had zero issues on the ice. I use them only as winter tires though and have a set of cooper stts for the summer

    thanks guys.

    looks like the only size tires I can fit on this rim are 285/75/18 and 295/70/18

    only 2 tires in that size are the Nittos
