Studded 37s

[maxr]

Has anybody found a studded 37? I know the stock 37" BFG tires are rated Severe Snow Service Rated (3 Peak Mtn Snowflake - 3PMSF) but sometimes those aren't enough where I live

If not, have you found a brand/model of tire chain that fits well?

My current truck runs Duratrac Wranglers with 3PMSF until winter and then I swap on Duratrac Wranglers that are Studded and 3PMSF. The Duratracs are a different size so they will be sold with the truck once my White 37 shows up.

General Grabber ATX are studdable. Only 37 I know of. Tire Rack will stud them for $15-$20 a tire I beleive.

Strange, they're usually a lot less than BFG's. They may have went up though...

cr*p . you are correct. i was on tirerack's site which is a lot more expensive then discount. The grabbers on DT are cheaper then the BFGs. @Pacific Wheel - much appreciated

Kanati Trail Hog are available in 37, 3PMSF rated and compatible with winter studs.

thanks .. the Kanati's look like Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs which I used on my tundra. Prefer the General Grabber A/TX since the inner treads are studdable also though they are on a national backorder until May.

Other than on ice, I don't see how studs are better in snow. I think prudent driving outweighs studs.

snow tires work great in snow because the siping in the treads is designed to capture snow crystals which are jagged/rough and these embedded snow crystals help provide grip against the snow crystal on the road. That does not help on ice. prudent driving will not stop a rubber snow tire on solid ice unless it has studs. Where I live, there is a lot of ice and driving without studs puts other drivers at risk when the vehicle slides across the lane, etc.
