I’ve been looking at studless winter tires for my F-150 4x4 Super Crew. Tire rack has 5 studless options and seen some other sites with other tires.
Blizzak DM-V2
Blizzak LT
Yokohama Iceguard
Michelin LTX
Continental Viking contact
Nokian R3
I’d really be interested in the Michelin x-ice due to performance and 40k warranty, but they don’t fit my F-150 size wise as they don’t come up to 275. Anybody have any of the above and can provide thoughts? I live in Denver so would prefer better tread life, so the Michelin LTX with the only warranty at 40k miles would seem to be the ideal choice. However it’s performance ratings leave something to be desired. Love the Blizzak DM-V2, but I don’t really want to buy another set for $900 after 2 seasons. Found the Nokian R3 on Amazon as well, seems like maybe the one.
Next thought is in regards to the Studded tire options out there. Cooper, Hankook, General Grabber, Goodyear, & Firestone have some studded options. I don’t plan on studding them, would the performance be up to par of the studdless if I don’t plan on studding them?
