Why? I live in MN and have never owned a 4wd pickup. Even pulling my jeep on the car trailer in the winter, there has never been a need for it.

 

There are anywhere from 3-6 times a year where unless you have 4 wheel drive that you stay home. Not having one last winter really hit home.

 

Didn't realize that Ohio got that much snow. Havn't had a day that I couldn't get in to work around here for many years, and we had record snow falls this year.

Especially with a pickup, all you need is a few hundred lbs in the bed and they're fine.

 

Hey Ohio gets it bad sometimes cuz we get what they get an hour later usually.LOL If you were looking for backroading and hill climbing etc. well you were just crazy to thing these tires were any good. I had them on my Durango R/T in 17" version...no problems in the snow and we had some fairly deep stuff. Only problem they only had like 20000K not miles and just over 2 years....dry rot and neither Chrysler nor Goodyear would fix the problem so i am not really pleased with these tires, what i am glad about is the automakers are using different tires other than just one model GoodforaYear. I am gonna try to wear these out but gonna have a hard time even in 2wd and all the crap turned off I cannot light up the tires. Must be like my R/T was said 2wd but was 70%rear 30 front, rarely had to use 4x4. Oh I guess i could give them credit one time, I needed to use my friends trailer and it was totally frozen in, I was afraid the tires would rip off but the owner said go for it. So I locked in 4lo and it felt like the truck lifted into the air and it just ripped the trailer out of the hole like it was not even stuck. I would hope this truck would do that....my larger 5.9L was only 250 HP and I think 303 LBS torque. Now this truck is slightly more almost like well not almost for sure like another small car worth or power.

 

I know, don't get me wrong, I just was surprised a little at the lack of traction in a pasture with a little grass and dirt. I knew they aren't going to be great for off road.
My SR A tires on my Dak seemed to do better. That was all I was saying. Yes, would definitly off-road tires to do anything else. These tires I'm sure are for highway/milage.
