OK, I will drop the Hankooks. The Goodyears I have also have poor wet traction. Will spin on a weet ramp trying to accelerate to get on the interstate. You get a little fish tail action if you are not careful.

I've had them for almost 3 years on my truck and love them. I heard rumors that they may be discontinued soon. I'm tempted to buy a set to have on hand just in case.

 

for snow im real happy with my general- grabbers at2's. same tread as the bfg's but for alot cheaper. check out the general tire website they got a bunch of wet weather and snow stuff.

spare dakota rims are easy to find on craigslist. since my old tires were pretty bad, I just had the snow tires mounted up on my current rims. come springtime I'll see what I can come up with for extra set. maybe pimp out my minivan with something fancy. or maybe not.

 

I looked at all of this last year about this time...I had the RT/S still on my truck. Anyway, I settled on the Wrangler DuraTracs. they are a good looking tire, and so far, I have no complaints. It is most likely a Goodyear compound issue, and well, no weight in the rear of the truck, but they are tail happy. Ive never had an issue braking wet, dry or snow. Ice, well, I will most likely find out tomrorrow! Otherwise, I am happy with them. The second was going to be Nittos, but everyone I read about said they wore too fast. Anyway, BFGs were too expensive and not as appealing. Then again, opinons are like ...well you know the rest.
I have my set of 18'' Torq Thrusts I'm debating on re-rubbering with something other than the Proxies. Might do Terras there and just have 2 sets of big tires...lol.

 

I really like the look of the bfg a/t's, but I really like the price of the generals...I'm getting new tires this summer and I'm still torn on which to get. But I'm leaning towards generals since they are about 1/3 cheaper then BFG's on tirerack.com

 

Yes tirerack is cheap but wait till you get charged for shipping. When I was looking for my bfg's I think they were 145 but for shipping to my house was 94.00. Thats when I found discounttiredirect.com there prices are more but thats because thats with shipping included Mine were free shipping. 150 a tire for 32's is a good deal espically since they are bfg's

 

damn, i was looking at ntg the 265 size. more per tire than your big bfg's.

 

Yes tire rack is pricey when you add in shipping and installation but Belletire and Discount tire will work with ya.

 

Really, thats surprising.
