I'm just waiting for your logic behind wide tires for ice.

More surface area touching road. Look at the Arctic vehicles they use and tell me what kind of tires they have.

They need flotation.  PSI footprint to maintain elevation in deep snow.  6ft of snow would require what, 144" tire?  Ever watch the swamp buggies?  Skinny 6ft agg tires not wide paddles like sand.

I didn't know the guy that started this thread was going  to be up in the Arctic, competing in the mud bogs, or airing down to float in 6 feet on snow.  I just assumed he'd use the tires like 99% of us other hunters do.

  this reminds me of the time I was cruising over Snoqualmie in my work truck with 265r17's in 4high. Zipping along at 50mph in 6-8" of new snow when I came up on a lifted Chevy 2500 with 35's on, he was struggling bad at 10mph fish tailing his way up the lane. I slowed down and moved over to remind him 4WD would solve his problems. He rolled down his window and shouted back "it's 2 wheel drive!"

Duratrac if snow is primary, or BF MT or AT.  AT2's for street and some off road.  Its amazing that the old BF AT is still hard to beat after so many years.  TSL IROC if serious mud and wheeling or go balls deep with the BOGGER!!

Just put a new set of Duratracs on my new cummins yesterday - I've always been a BFG guy, but the guys at Discount Tire talked me into them and even matched the price of the BFG for me trying them.
They should be a good test as I'm leaving Thursday morning for 13 days hunting

They are a little weird the first few hundred miles until broke in.  Dunno why.  You will like em.  Snow they are really good.  Good in everything except the thick mud.  Can ball up but if its sloppy wet mud, rocks, grass, etc they are good.  Wear was decent for me as well.  Wet roads they were good too.  Report back and let us know what you think!

I've had cooper sst, Goodyear Mt, Toyo, and now two sets of km2's.

My rating, bfg, cooper, Toyo, Goodyear. Bfgs are cheapest and have lasted longer on my f 350 than any others and have far superior traction and low noise.

I've always ran the bfg mt's or at's but this year (feb) I went with the mtx from mastercraft. They are a bit quieter and sofar wearing very well driving 60-80 miles a day 5-6 days a week. I did have them siped and I'm very happy with them sofar.

I ran 235's on my f 150 and run 255's on my f 350. I've had 285's on both before and they were terrible in comparison in almost every condition I encounter in the local hills and snowy passes.

Tall and narrow.

I am running the Fierce Attitude MT's on my F150, made by good year.  Second set.  Ran a set on my other F150, which I sold.  My favorite tire to fill the category of performance, wear, and cost overall.  They have limited size selections.

Quoting myself.
I hit the 40,000 mile mark on these. 275/70/18.....I measured the tires with tread depth gauge, and they all measure between 11 & 12/32nd's remaining, which would put them at about 50% tread, but we all know that the second half of the tire usually wears faster than the first half.  But I am extremely pleased with the wear so far.

I personally feel that the 255s are the best choice for a 10 ply 33in Tire. Unfortunately they aren't that common so make sure you have a spare and keep all your old ones for spares as well.
