I'd forgotten how much the stock Goodyears suck in snow...

The Ram is getting new shoes as I type, Nokain Rotiiva. Biggest size they come in is 275/55R20, slightly smaller than the stock 275/60 but close enough. I'll let you know how they handle the next snowstorm.

Those stock goodyears probably wouldn't suck so bad if you were able to keep your foot off the gas in the snow... :jester:

:cheers: to the new rubber.

I know my stock Goodyears blow on anything other than completely dry roads. It's all I can do to accelerate from a stop in the rain without one of the rear tires breaking loose or even accelerating up an on-ramp.

Yep, the goodyear SR-As on my truck are complete junk in the snow. I figure I'll get through this winter with them, then decide which way i want to go for tires in the spring, when I level it and all that good stuff.

My son bought Carl's Centelines a couple years back, and off we went to Sam's Club for skins. He bought the GYs because they were so damn cheap. For the money they are a pretty good tire.

I ran them for a couple of Alaskan winters without much whining :D2 when I had ol' Blue.

My kid did finally upgrade to Nokian ice tires last year, just because he got a smokin deal on some Denali 17 take-offs

Blah, blah, blah...you guys need to learn to drive in the snow...

This...

We always ran Goodyear tires in the snow when I lived in the Snow Belt w/ Lake Effect snow. Never had any issues.

Even the 2wd 2500HD trucks that we had at the company I used to work at did fine driving on ice.

I guess you just have to know what you are doing...

TX, where else should I be?
Or just move so far south that you don't have to deal with that ice and snow for more than a few hours per year...and get to take the day off when it does fall since nobody owns anything but summer and all season tires.
