GREAT LAKES RAPTOR EXCURSIONS

No but they will have close to 20K on them mostly Highway and 2 rallies they look new but are at maybe half tread. I am all about great traction but really I want a summer set and winter set. I could run them for sure but I have the stock wheels so why not make a winter set. Now if I could get a Blizzak or a Hakka in a 315/70/17!!

The biggest blizzak size is 285-70-17 in the DM-V1.

They're a bit narrower/shorter than the factory size, but, they're only $169 on tire rack.

I want a heineken

 

[WRCRaptor]

The issue with the shorter tire is the abs traction and stability control have a hard time functioning correctly especially in snow. I don't have personal experience on this truck but have seen this issue crop up on other cars.

Or practice make permanent. We use this term all the time in ski racing.
