    Right now it's just from the ice patch on the driveway, all the roads in town are clear for now. *cough* budget snow removal *cough* So no real experience yet. Although it looks like we might be getting a pretty decent storm coming through the area around Christmas and I'll be driving over some passes so I'll hopefully be able to truly test them out then!
    One of my buddies has a set on his 3rd gen and we had a really deep winter last year and he was very impressed by how well they did. I can't wait to find out first hand!

    In case anybody wants to see a side by side comparison of a skinny tire mounted on a wide wheel vs a skinny tire mounted on a skinnyish wheel. Does not appear to be a big difference.

    255/80R17 Ridge Grappler on 8.5" wide wheel on the left and 255/85R16 Cooper ST Maxx on 7" wide spare wheel on the right.

    Any idea if that 255/80R17 Grappler would fit on a stock pro without trimming? I can't really tell how much lift you have on your truck. It looks like the Grappler measures 33.3" from their website.

    So are you replacing one with the other? Is your OR stock? What wheel did you use with the Maxx?

    Definitely post up pics after the install :thumbsup:

    Cooper ST Maxx is my spare. Ridge Grapplers are ground tires. Maxx is on OE spare wheel. Ridge Grapplers are on 17x8.5 Method 305s.

    Mild lift (1.75” front 1.5” rear).

    Had to do some minor trimming up front and hammer in the pinch welds. Caster on lower control arms is maxed.

    I posted pics of the setup awhile back.

    I think so. You may have to do some trimming of plastic and may want to add some caster just to be safe.

    Got the Wild Peaks out in the snow today! (ended up not taking the truck over the passes) Had to turn around in some deep unpacked snow due to some other trucks that were helping some people get unstuck, and the Wild Peaks did great!! I was super impressed! IMG_20191228_134140.jpg IMG_20191228_134117.jpg IMG_20191228_134123.jpg

    After some serious research, I decided to go with these bad boys. I'll post up some pics after the install tomorrow.

    Definitely interested in hearing your thoughts on these as well. Particularly how harsh they are/aren't considering load range E.

    I’m curious how these would drive on a lifted 3rd gen? There is a weight distribution difference. Also wonder if these would look funny?
