Tire recomendations

Problem is the wide footprint & big power makes for worse winter performance w/ the same tire on a raptor vs. a standard 1/2 ton all else being equal

Which is why I’ll be adding nokian snows for winter- can’t decide studded or not, the raptor would certainly benefit from the studs w/ such a wide footprint as mentioned, but had studded snows on my last truck & I felt like I was destroying my concrete driveway every time I was turning on it.

Also, the studs make a BIG difference on ice or hard packed snow, once it gets like that even nice soft compound well siped dedicated snows like a blizzak will still have a tough time in those conditions again- because of the Raptors tire size & the power it puts down.

They've been fine for me. I ran them (non-studded) the last 2 winters on my Raptor and the last 6 winters on my Bronco.

You’re talking about the nokians?

I’ll try em out non-studded can always add em after the fact if really needed anyhow.

Although the prospect of a tuned Raptor in a blizzaed rocking studded snows in 4A sport mode & TC off is pretty enticing

Out of all the mt tires suggested Duratracs are the only ones snowflake rated.

You would be correct if the duratrac were an MT tire. They are not.

Very happy with my 37” Mickey Thompson mtz p3. They are light for a 37 not View attachment 124494 View attachment 124495 nearly the road noise as the toyo mt and have much better traction.

What do they weigh? Their website says 85lbs, but that seems fishy since the 35's are listed at 65lbs.

What are they?

Also throw at in the mix. How many are snow flake rated?

it was sarcasm. The answer is none. BFg at nope, bfg mt nope, ridge grappler nope, on and on. The op had a question about decent tires in the snow.
