Best snow tire for a 1 ton?

[BILTIT]

I have run Toyo CT's on my 3/4T (unstudded, 35's) for 5 years. They are alright (great for towing) but i found duratracs had better traction. I think i am going AT3's next.

^^^ Are you talking Falken Wildpeak AT3's ? I'm curious to how peeps like them?

 

[BILTIT]

No sorry, toyo at3's.

I have the cts and they aren't the best. I had duratracs which were better in snow but sucked in the summer for towing.

You could run Toyo CT’s, which are studdable. I liked them on my dually even with no studs.

Thats what i am currently running, but 35 is the biggest size. I want to upsize to 37 inch tires though.

They are a good tire winter and summer, had a few sets of them, buddy of mine runs them on all his 3/4 and 1 ton work trucks... he pulls lots, and runs lots of gravel and they hold up.

The best part of the CT's is that i got 100k km out of them and still going. They are super stable when towing and fairly quiet. I assume the stability when towing is due to toyo construction and will be that way in other models aswell.

No sorry, toyo at3's.

I have a set of 285 60 R20 Toyo Open Country AT3's for sale. less than 2500km. Paid $1600, sell for $1400.00. Or $2500 with the new Platinum Rims with sensors and caps.

I'm running the Falcon Wildpeak AT3's, have been running TOYO's for a few years but couldn't get them this year due to shortages. So far the Wildpeaks are awesome, I've got them on a 3/4 ton diesel Chev.

I found that they don't make a decent winter tire in a 10 ply on a 17" rim - so I went with 18's and I'm running the centennial trail hogs 10 ply on my f350 studded - they aren't as good as a duratrac - but they last longer and they are cheaper - only thing I don't like is they can't get them balanced - gotta do beads or the liquid stuff in em I guess

For the past 10 years all I ever use is the beads
Like it way better
Always in balance never have to rebalance

Life is too short to drive on unbalanced tires

 

[smokinD]

You can.

Reminds of the Foremost i used back in the day only more advanced. I would run this around town NP with the way the weather/snow removal is this year. Would not even need the AH could use the bar ditch lol!

I have a set of studded lt3 on the ford but they are kinda small as I took them off the duramax. Buddy sent me this Facebook link a while back. Now l absolutely 100% hate Chinese tires as why would I spend 1/2 the money to get 1/2 the life and be in the tire shop twice as much. However I’ve seen you tube videos where The new ford diesels can fit 38 inch rubber with no lift. Problem is I can’t find big rubber in studded winters other than a China brand. Has anyone tried these tires from Gert’s wheels ?? Tires are venom power hunters or something like that.

That’s a good idea! My brother used beads for his bike tires, never considered them for my pickup !

I have had the worst luck with balancing beads - they get stuck in the valve cores and leak air.

Only thing I will use for steering tires on my logging trucks. Bag balance, work great.
