    Yeah, I never go cheap on tires or brakes. I'd sooner extend the mileage on an oil change than go cheap on tires and cheap on brakes. Especially with all the dumb ass drivers out there.

    I think you'll do fine with those tires, a lot better than going with some s**t ass all seasons.

    Lol I've always ran winter tires with the snowflakes. Couldn't afford the duratracs in the size I wanted this year. So we'll see how studs do.
    I spend the money on all Essential maintenance. Oil, fuel, Tires, everything lol

    The sure don't look an inch wider, but are definitely more than an inch taller! Super excited to have some tread back lol
    There's some mild "siping" in the middle of the V-blocks, so I'll hold off on having that done till I get some good snow driving done.

    Get them on the truck and you will notice a huge difference on width as well

    I imagine it will.

    Can someone find what size stud it takes? I imagine it's a #16, but not sure.

    Only thing I noticed with my 2 sets of dynapros was they first half of the tread went quick and the 2nd half wore like iron. They werent as good riding as my duratracs but were better than my km2s

    Just wait till theyre mounted and installed, the weight of your truck will bulge it out making it look wider. :happy160:

    so how do you put studs in them? I assume the small holes on the outside? they just press in or screw in?
