The Great Wheel Dilemma!

[George B]

@George B I haven't searched every thread yet, so you may have mentioned it, but how do you like these tires? Now that you probably got some good time in the snow with them?

Not a fan of them in this size. But ai really think its the size. They are pretty squirmy in that greasy slush that forms on the road. They perform good enough in deep snow and work well on packed snow. Is is always a no go for most tires. For snow I would seriously consider a different set of wheels in 17” and get some dedicated snows.

Thank you for the response. I am in Indianapolis, and the slushy stuff and ice is what we get most, aside from a few good snow days here and there. I would be mounting them a 20" rim, which would make a difference.

I found a bunch of great reviews searching a Tacoma forum, but that's clearly a different vehicle. I will continue my research.

I would expect the 20” version to perform in a similar way to these. I think the width is the issue. Best tires I had in snow were Goodyear Duratrac in 265/75-16. The slush would squish out from under them.

The Duratracs are also on my list. I've read many good things about them.

The only complaint would be the noise. They were pretty loud.

Falken Wildpeak at3w worked well too.
