tire help

im selecting my first set of mud tires soon and being that ive never done it before id like some suggestions on what kinda tires to get. im going up to pa for school in sept so im going to deal with some snow,i have 700$ saved. i was looking at some goodyear wrangler duratrac's but idk how long they'll last

 

Cant help you much on durability for the Duratrac's since I just got them myself.

They are rated as an All Terrain tire though, so they should last longer than a mud terrain.

 

Mud Terrains are terrible in snow... in case you didn't know

 

i love my toyo opencountry mt's but ur only gona get about 2 tires with 700 lol

 

Not exactly terrible.

I had no problems driving around in winter with my STTs. You just gotta adjust how you drive.

 

Where in PA are you going to school? Are you strictly buying mud tires for traction in the snow? The snowfalls in my area of PA haven't been anything that would require you to have mud terrains to be able to drive. I have been using General Grabber AT2s on my truck and not had any issues.

 

That's gonna be my next set for sure right now I have on Pro Comp Xtreme MT's with lots o' life left on them...

 

I would go with a good A/T. Duratracs are know for their good winter traction.

 

Maxxis Bighorns or Maxxis Buckshots, Ive had em both and got really good wear and highway manners out of em. I called today to get a price on a set for this coming hunting season and they were 597 out the door for 265/75R16...

 

i like my mastercraft courser mt's just fine. not really expensive....but they are a great tire.

 

im going to blairsville its about an hour away from pittsburgh. im going to wyotech for the diesel program. i really like the goodyear duratracs but as i said i need to get about 40k miles from all the running around im gunna be doing and i need them to handle well in the snow

 

Get the duratracs. You will get good mileage in your lightweight truck as long as you don't burn them off. Or the goodyear MTR's.

 

Terra Grapplers! They have served me well in mud,snow, and not to loud on the high way

 

Just got mine today...and so far are pretty good, not to noisy but got a slight hummm to'em, pretty good in havey rain IMO it. A buddy of mine has had a set on his F-150 for 5 yrs and still got around 1/4 tread left so they last a while too!

 

well i came upon an offer on some tires that i couldnt refuse so im now running 31 10.50 dakota a/t's and shockingly there amazing great in the sand there said to be good in the snow and there decent in the mud and the best part is i only paid 60$ a tire =P

 

2 ply right? i know their mt tire is only 2 ply but ive heard they were pretty good!

 

Cooper discoverer S/T's here in 255/85/16. Haven't had a chance to try them in snow yet but they are stud able.
