Winter specific truck tires

[woody_tobius_jr]

I put a set of Mirage studded winter tires on my F-150 last year and was so impressed with them that I put a set on my F-350 that I bought this fall.

Well had to get rid of my Nokian hakapelidia studs as they turned into racing slicks at 50% wear.

I was super ampoed in these tires when the first were put on.

Real good in ice.
Brutal in deep or soapy snow.

Forget what the gals were new, I wanna say $2600.

Bought these Arctic claws.
Most aggressive tire winter tire I could find.
See how they play out.
$1400

I’ve heard really good things about the Cooper M&S. I have the Nokian Hakkas studded, I hope they don’t turn into slicks..

Most winter tires are only good for the first 1/2 .
From what I have found anyway.

The new Hakkas with the snowflake symbol is visible on the actual tread are only SnowFlake rated until it wears off. Once it’s gone they don’t qualify them as SnowFlake rated tires.

That’s a pretty nice feature, after 1 season I was at 80% on two tires and the others I could still see the 100%

I got the arctic claws, very happy with them, and quiet!

I was highly disappointed with them.

Oh but they do.

Here is a picture of new ones vs mine that were exactly 50%.

The center become a giant surface area of bald rubber.

Went from awesome to sketchy real quick.

That's how my studded cooper m&s wore

All the sipes just disappeared, it was brutal.

 

[skegpro]

I figured it won't happen on these Arctic claws because all the treads are full depth....

Time shall tell.

Running 35 inch General Grabbers so far so good

That looks like a good tire. Give us a review once you test them out.

Well I got about 1000km on them and so far so good.

Excellent bite.
Have been driving around town in 2WD and unloaded and she is fairly greasy out.

Rides nice, like a Michelin M/S.
But definitely louder than my studded Haks. But these are more aggressive and deeper treads so it to be expected I guess.

See how they go long term.

Looks like overinflation wear.

Looks like overinflation wear.

It does look like it.
But trust me sit isn't, I am meticulous about tire pressures.

It's just the way they wear.
