better winter traction? which tire?

[Duraski]

I liked the Multi-miler. Wild Country original MTA Tread, had 31 10.50 16s the 32 11.50 16s on my 85 1/2 ton wore well, probably 65% pavement 35% gravel. The first ones were 8 plys and got almost 50,000 rotating them myself every 6000miles and running about 45-50psi in them. Were excellent on snow and ice and had the power to turn them in mud (definitely rock throwers and howled once wore tread down to to less than 3/8 inch) As tire place told me, AT's would get you into most places and out of about 90% of what you got into, MTs would allow you to pull out your friends with AT's when they couldn't get out them selves. Only stuck myself twice, first was when you could walk under the back bumber without ducking(and it didn't have a lift) and the front lights were shining under water 2nd was when i drug the back bumper going into a hole and the front bumper stopped me from climbing back out, used a three point on my dads 1456 IH to lift up rear end to get out. Whow was that a few years ago

I am going with 265's whatever I go with. I just don't want a bunch of rock chips all over my truck because my tires like to throw rocks. Would rather spend a little more on tires that didn't throw rocks then spend it on touch up paint. I am definitely looking at the General's, has a set of bfg's once. Not that impressed for the price you pay.

no one is wrong its all in how you look at it. i run down the road alot loaded. i also go to camp ALOT (<<see avatar<<) so i run the stockers till there bald, then upgrade to the toyo M/T's. they usually lasted about 25 to 30000mi a set on the Ford 6.Slow i used to have.

what you should really do is put A/T's on the Dmax, buy a trailer, buy the jeep, run a key down the side of it and tell yourself its ruined now so i might as well beat on it! then use said trailer and good A/T tires to haul jeep with Baja Claws (best tire for real world off roading) to trial head and proceed to beat it until you have to drag it back on the trailer and tow it home!
