He's like the ground hog of winter tires.

If he walks out of the garage and sees the shadows from his 5 sets of wheels, it's time to change them and make a post.

Lol it’s mid January. This happens every year. It will probably snow again in like 10 days.

This.


I usually swap out the winter tires around mid March. Sometimes late February. It really depends on the temperature. If it stays above 7 at all times then it's go time. Anything less than the winters stay on.

Also, as others have mentioned, the occasional strange and random day of snow in March and/or April usually happens as well.

Is anyone running A/T tires with 3PMSF on their SUVs/Trucks that use then year round through winter? If so, what tire do you have and how are they? This is a next season problem for me as I might be picking up an SUV between now and then. Was looking at the Toyo Open Country A/T III.

I had an Mitsubishi RVR and a Nissan Frontier (RWD) truck with General Grabber AT2's. at stock tire size. We used them both year round. They were pretty good when new and performed well in deep snow and gravel. The nice thing is you can air them down quite aggressively for additional grip.

However wet traction on normal roads were not optimal, a huge minus since our vehicles see the road 90% of the time. Fuel consumption was worse by about 10-15%. Also, expect to hear tire humming at speeds above 60km/h.

If I were to choose another tire, I would go for something that is more highway oriented with less aggressive tread so I have better wet traction, better fuel economy, and better ride.

It can vary, some are pretty good year round and some of them are terrible. The hit to fuel economy can be big enough that you could've just bought two different sets of tires though, so unless you're going offroad enough to justify needing AT tires it's probably not worth it. ie on my 2000 Jeep Cherokee I had BFG KO tires and they were great, I wore those out and swapped to Duratracs which were also great, but they cost me an extra $500/yr in gas. That was just changin between two different AT tires. I would've rather been spending that on a set of proper snow tires.

I had Goodyear Duratracs on my QX4 a few winters ago. They worked in the snow but nott on ice. I was stopped on a hill and the truck started to slide down the hill because of the ice.

And yeah, my fuel economy went to shit but I think that was because I went up from a 27.5 in tire to a 29.

I had ko2’s on my focus in 2019 when it was lifted, but that’s such a niche usage I won’t bother reviewing it.

My friend runs ko2’s on his ‘17 Tacoma and absolutely loves them. He used to run the stock tires all year but in winter they sucked. Now that he swapped to the ko2 he even makes excuses to go drive in the snow. Lives on a big steep hill in coquitlam, no issues. He also has a chevy 3500 van or e350 whatever, 2wd also with ko2 and has never been stuck so far which is good for a tradesman.

Hes never had any issues in the winter keeping up with me and our friends in our Subaru’s or awd cars with proper snow tires.

The only winter rated LT’s I can think of immediately are the KO2, falken wildpeaks, and the newer Pirelli scorpion.

Thanks for the input @jcmaz, @underscore, @SumAznGuy, @320icar

I didn't think about the fuel mileage hit but thanks for bringing that up, will definitely be something that will factor into my decision
