I live in Alaska. Finding tires to fit my truck, and meet the load range for a 1 ton truck for a reasonable price is next to impossible. Amazon came through with these tires. At $280 per tire, these were the most inexpensive tire I could find in the 325/65R18 or 35x12.5R18 size. Don't let the price fool you. I have been running BF Goodrich TA KM2 Mud Terrains for the last couple years, and the Hankooks have out performed them in snow and ice, and dry pavement performance. It's still springtime in Alaska, so no mud or rock terrain is really accessible at the moment; I will update my review once summer starts.
Keep in mind all of this information is being based off of the feedback of the truck, a 1990 Dodge 1 ton with the Cummins Turbo Diesel.
Road Noise: 5 stars
- Simply the quietest Mud Terrain I've ever owned.
Dry Pavement: 5 Stars
- No complaints, feel nice and firm, with minimal "squish".
Wet Pavement: 4 Stars
- No issues yet, but it's a mud terrain, not a highway tire. The large lugs won't allow water to escape through the tread like a heavily siped tire.
Icy Roads: 3 Stars
- Again, it's a mud terrain. If they were siped heavily, I would bet money that they would be at least 20% better on icy roads.
Snowy Roads: 4 Stars
- Great traction in the snow. Packed snow conditions will allow some tire slip, but it's not excessive. Very controllable.
Save some cash, buy this tire, and don't look back. I'll report on tread wear later this summer.
