I got a quote for those nokian's today. Studded for my pickup. $1700 friken dollars??????????? Gotta be kidding.

I have the Nokian haka 5's on my Silverado. They are an awesome tire. Our roads up here can get brutal, totally worth the dough in my opinion. i paid 1800 on rims and installed at Fountain Tire.

Worth every penny IMHO! If I had the money they'd be on my old dodge too....

I use regular winter tires on my car, but they hold lots of little pebbles so I get the studding for free.

Costco now sells both steel wheels and alloys and really low prices.

1800 on rims for those tires is a good price but 1700 is a lot. They want to charge 125 bucks just for balancing

X (something) like maybe 5 for the Nokians factory studded.

My 18" 275/65R18 E/10, were $1586.12 from Kal Tire in Sparwood installed, balanced, and the whole 9 yards (and also included was getting Plio's winters put on the factory rims). That is for the F350

The friggin' taxes and the BC bullchit was an extra $212.74.

Those Nokians are a great tire and you will get two winters and maybe three out of them depending on the conditions when you put them on and take them off.

I like Costco pricing but they don't doo studded..........seems strange to me!

I use Hurricane Avalanche with studs on all four for the new dodge.
I had to go to these because my first choice of winterfoce tires were not available in 20 inch.
I use the winterforce studded on the jacked up F 150. Stick to road well with both tires.
The F-350 diesel gets Goodyear Duratrcs to run back and forth to work and Revy.
Only use the first to for winter as they are really soft though.
Both are Firestone products

After today I'm gonna need something better than the Scorpion ATR that Ford stuck on the truck at factory.Hating these thing on the packed and icy fresh snow can't steer or stop.Wheels are 20's but can't remember the a exact size but would like to go a bit higher anyway.Anyone know what will work as far as clearance on a '12 F150 crew cab with front level kit?

Im running Toyo Observe gsi-5s bought at 1010 tires, they seem to always have the cheapest prices in Canada, they work great for me but arent studdable, good ride towing 4 sleds, never had that squishy feeling even though there p-metric tires and my ~6100lbs F150.

Gader, should be able to run 35" tires on it but they might rub with stock wheels when turning. Lots of guys running 35s on f150forum with 2" levels, but usually with aftermarket wheels.
