37s for winter snow

[Wfo]

Anyone that lives in the northeast run a 37 that’s worth a dam in the snow? I had 35 duratracs on my gen1 for winter only tires, they were Much better than the oem bfg. They don’t make the duratracs in 37, they do a wrangler MT/R with Kevlar 37 but there isn’t any sipping. Experiences or recommendations? I have an average annual snowfall of 124”+.

Toyo Open Country MT's are good & have a lot of sipping

You don’t want an mt tire for snow at all. They pack up and then you are screwed

Not my experience with those tires? I live in Minnesota so we get a ton of snow 1/2 the year.

Agreed, I ran Toyo MTs for years, they have minimal sipping.

Presently running 37" Cooper Discoverer SSTs and this will be their first winter. They have lots of sipping so I am eager to hit the snow.

I ran Nitto Trail Grapplers for several winters on my 2011 and 2014 F150s. I had no issues with them in the snow. They were much better in snow than the Terra Grapplers I ran on my 06.

These are Duratrac knock offs that are offered in a 37. I haven't ran them, but I recall reading an old thread or two about them when I was researching tires.

Funny, it looks like they are coming out with a Nitto RG knock off as well.

Those look like something to look into! Google here I come.

Reviews are either very positive or negative. Wish there were more options in 37” for winter time.

Do you NEED a 37” tire due to suspension changes or b/c of current wheel sized or just for looks? Are you running a separate set of winter wheels?

I live in MA & travel to ski country regularly in winter storms along w/ going down to cape cod to clear my mother’s driveway & travel for work all over the eastern seaboard/Midwest

There is no substitute for a proper winter tire, so if that’s what your goal is- forget about it, & anyone telling you otherwise is either misinformed and/or has never experienced the confidence/control/awesomeness of driving a lifted 4x4 truck on snow tires....esp studded snows...in winter. I would pass hwy plow trucks in white our blizzard conditions in northern NH/ME cruising @ 55-60 in 4HI on studded snows in my previous GMC

I can’t even imagine how nasty the raptor will be this winter on the Nokians I picked up 315/70r17 wrapped around the base 17” wheels (got the forged beadlocks for the BFGs)

Sounds like you’re in legit snow country....you may look good on 37” MTs, but I’ll gladly pull you outta the ditch w/ my truck on 35” nokian studded snows once they get snow packed & hard as rocks in 0 degree weather ;-)
