Tires BFGoodrich or Nokia
I live in New England and run Nokians for my winter tires on both my wife's and my cars. On hers, we run the WRG4 which is a super winter biased all season tire, really good cold-dry performance, 9/10 in the snow.
I run some Nokian Hakkapollita R2's on some 17x7.5\" wheels for winter and all I can say is the 17's make you feel like you're riding on a cloud.
But lately I've been going with the Nokian Hackapillita's for extra grip in the snow. The Nokians wear better in back road snow drifts.
BFG AT K02 Just put my second set on my F150 about 7K miles ago. I got 56K trouble free miles out of the first set which is great in my book. The key is to balance/rotate at the recommended intervals.
215/65/16 BFGoodrich K02s. 27” rolling diameter is our maximum number. My wheels are 16x8 et30. NO RUBBING AT ALL!
I had KO2's on my JK Wrangler and they were great. I had the e rated ones, so they were stiffer than the factory Bridgestone DD's but no noisier with the top on or off. I found Duratrac's get noisier as they wear, the BFG's didn't.
New BF Goodrich Comp TA a/s tires, and even on stock suspension it’s really helped. The ride is a bit crunchy but worth it.
Id be looking at either the nokian wrg3 if you get an actual good amount of snow or michelin defender if you have a wimpy southern winter
I bought BFG KO2's about a year ago and they had white letters on one side, black on the other. FYI, if you get snow, the KO2's are awesome in it.
Drove about 30 miles on AT3W but the steering wheel shake was so bad that I paid more for the KO2’s. Shake is still there but not as bad. Whatever you pick, make sure to get your wheels properly road force balanced.
