Unless LTX is updated from my tundra days, they're not 3PMSF. Nice quiet tire though.Quote:

I'd never checked out Duratrac, but that was probably the next one I would have tried.

3pmsf is important -- thx for that detailQuote:

Counterpoint: the LTX AT2 was the worst tire I ever experienced in PNW snow. It also felt like driving on marbles on east slope gravel roads. Long wearing for sure because they’re hard AF. Fine highway tires. I replaced them long before they were worn out with something a little softer with lugs. 2015 F250 dieselQuote:

Were your LTXs OEM tires? They are often a different compound.Quote:

They were oem. I’m generally under the impression oem compounds are softer, not harder but maybe that’s not the case here. I hated them enough that every time they get mentioned I have to shit on them.Quote:

Dynapro should be a budget option compared to the other tires mentioned. I would consider buying them again.
check the price on GOODYEAR WRANGLER ULTRATERRAIN AT in your size and E rate. It's a discount tire exclusive. 3PMSF. At the time I purchased they were a good value compared to a duratrac/BFG/etc. Tread is a bit more road friendly than a duratrac. Ours have no noticeable road noise.

^ based on tread I'd wager that tire would suck on ice.

Unless studded all tires suck on ice. Some just a tiny bit less than others.Quote:

I’ve got these tires on my truck. They’ve worked as good in snow as the hakkapaliittaas on our Subaru. Quite on the road and haven’t noticed worse mpg. Very impressedQuote:

F150 has a different pressure spec and load rating than a 1 ton. Were you running an e-rated tire or a lower weight range? 60-80 psi? If not, you were on different tires with the same-ish tread.Quote:

Yeah, it seems pricing in all sorts of markets seems to have gone to seller’s markets
I went through this process not too long ago. Ended up with General Grabber ATX after doing way too much research.
Several months ago went through this with my Tundra. Wildpeaks ftw!
Used in Utah on all kinds of conditions and seemed pretty good. Then went to Montana and after 1100 miles of crazy conditions they moved from pretty good to the best tires I’ve ever had. -10 degree temps, snow, wet it didn’t matter. Solid damn tire.
They have pricing for the heavier load tires which seem to be in the $275 range. I paid less with the regular duty tires. Discount Tire online purchase took 10% off. Out the door for just over a grand.
Anyone thinking KO2, go Wildpeak. You’ll be very happy.
Yeah - these def weren't E-rated. This is the model:Quote:

Run at 35psi.
So yeah - def different tires...
Where are people buying a second set of wheels at? 4wheel parts? Tire rack?
I've done Tire Rack as well as picking up a set off Craigslist. The Craigslist route is *much* cheaper...Quote:

This site will show you what bolt pattern/offset/diameter came stock on almost any vehicle. You can match up years by comparing bolt pattern and offsetQuote:

Thanks for that... looks like the rims are different for the van, as opposed to a similar aged pickup...Quote:
