Winter tires or All season

[6mile]

Just put a set of hankook dynapro AT tires on my F150 from Discount Tire for $835 with a $40 mail in rebate to boot with the same load rating as the F150's stock tire. Good looking tire, with some good reviews, (in addition to some feedback I've had from others that put them on.) Went from a road tire to these, and honestly can't tell the difference in road noise. (maybe cause I've always got tunes going...

You will like the tires, I have had them for exactly one year and am very pleased.

Are these all weather or just snow? They look nice .

I have the Hankook dyna pro ATM also. Been on my 2500 diesel for 60k and will get another 20k out of them easy. IIRC they were $980 mounted up for load range e load cap. 3750lbs. Was the highest load cap in a 17" tire at the time. Very quiet tire, works good in snow.

I am not a fan of BFG or Goodyear at all. All marketing, for inferior tires.

I always run winters on my wife's car and I use them on there year round. She has a Yukon xl, and that thing is crazy good with good snow tires and if you have bad tires on there (like all season) that are baldish, then it's like a pig on ice.

I looked at a set of rims, tire air pressure monitors, and summer tires for those rims and yikes it was spendy. I might do that at some point. for now I run them two years and buy new ones. Here in the Keweenaw, I'd rather my wife and kids have good tires.

on my car, I but two tires a yr (winter) then put the new ones on the front. about every three years I can skip a yr. I am a tire freak though, if they are even remotely close to needing new ones I get them.

sounds like it makes sense to get a set of rims and swap them out, I'm sure the winters will last for many years and they will probably pay off, although I haven't done the math yet.

Let us know what you do.

Put a set of Bridgestone Dueler A/T's on 2 years ago. Best tire I've ever had. Quiet, great grip dry, wet and in the snow. Rotate them every 5k and now they have 30k and still holding up great.

Put those on a Yukon I had years back and agree. Loved them for the same reason. @catalac...- they are an AT, so a bit more aggressive than a road/rain tire. I've always put an AT tire on my vehicles after the originals wore out. Have had the Dueler's like garyl62 on a Yukon, a set of Terra Grapplers on an Avalanch, and now these Hankooks on an F150. I'm only a few hundred miles into the Hankooks, but like what I heard and saw, so went with them because of the referrals and price. In addition, I had no issues and liked the Dueler's and Grapplers I had as well. I put an average of 25 to 30k miles on my trucks every year, and to be honest......., I can't tell you there was much of a difference between any of the three. I never keep the vehicles long enough to see how the new tires wear beyone 15 to 20k miles, so can't speak to longevity.

I am done with goodforayr forever. the set I put on the old mountaineer were wearing fast.
the last stock SRA on my f150 WORST P O S EVER 25k 2 bald slicks 2 just past ware bar total junk.
I looked at the hankook but the load range e were not much cheeper than the Michelin ltx. if I did not want the load range I would have deff went with the Hankook dyna pro like doospunk.

Scorpions on the FX4 not much better. Hoping to get one more winter out of them. 36K, cracking, getting real low on tread. I'll be praying if I gotta chase in anything real bad (but I'm going regardless. LOL!)

Thanks again for the input, guys.
I ended up going with Discount Tire and one of their wheel/tire combos with the Hankook I*Pike tires on Alum rims with lug nuts for $836.00 shipped.
These are 245/70/16 and will be about an inch smaller in W. and H. than the stock 20's but the stockers are actually kind of tight in the wheel wells up front with the lowered chassis and wide bumper cover of the SS.
