Winter tires

[flagmanruss]

I can't find the thread... I think Mike described his winter tires. A taller narrower tire, same diameter. I'm thinking of picking up some 16" stock steel rims and real winter tread. I don't use the truck much in winter, but with Sheila's Subaru gone, it's our only 4X4.

From here on out I will find a 235/85 R16 mud / snow tire and place it on my steel rim and use them for winter purpose. As for the stock 265/75 R16 I will most likely never buy those again just way to heavy only gain 1.5 to 2 inches in wide for tread face but add a whole 25 pounds per tire more. I'm already back to my 235's now.

If'n you're going with "pizza cutters".........you'll have to go with load range "E" in 16 inchers to give you the proper weight rating for your Cummins.

Heck I just drove the last hour home from Ontario, OR in near white conditions. 235's held up fine. Mine are not even a mud / snow tire but a trailer tire with a Load Range G (3,750# 14 ply). Excellent tire for on-road use but don't stand up to the dirt roads to well.
