Winter Tire Recommendations?

4187 Views 9 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  Biobob
Hi all,
Looks like I have a build week of Oct 24/22 for my 2023 Lariat (ordered a 2022 in January but that's another thread). Anyways, I know we haven't seen a winter with these trucks yet so obviously we don't have experience necessarily to rely on, but has anyone done any research or have any recommendations for winter/snow tires? I know my 2017 Chevy Volt has special Green tires for the summer and I just put Michelin Ice-X tires on for winter. I'm sure there are a dozen options for winter truck tires just thought I would see what other folks are doing. Thanks.

Bridgestone Blizzaks are considered the best choice by many for a winter tire.

The Blizzak DM-V2 gets good reviews and comes in 18" and 20" sizes. The DM-V2 is a good choice for a 1/2 ton truck.

For those who use their 1/2 ton Lightning like its a 3/4 ton, there is also the relatively new Blizzak-LT model, but they have many poor reviews for longevity. If you get some 17" rims, you can also look at the older Blizzak W965 Light Truck model which have more typical amount of complaints about poor longevity that all snow tires suffer from.
