Long bed Super cab with the 460 under the hood.
Use Toyo's on my Jeep and have good luck with them.
Looking at the AT III's for the rear since it may get driven in the snow on occasion.
Only tow a 2000lb tent trailer a few times a year and the monthly dump run so don't really need a heavy duty truck tire.
Was wondering how these tires would be on ice and snow.

Although you didn't ask...Previous tires were Falken Wildpeak at3w and those were phenomenal over the life of the tires. They saw quite a bit of snow over the 5 years I had them on my truck. 10" of powder during hunting 2 years ago on fs roads and packed snow ice on hwy and around town)
Hoping the AT III continues to perform as it did last winter and doesn't degrade. If they do degrade I will likely go back to the Wildpeak.

IMO if your a 1 set of tire kind of person invest in cables and or chains. :twocents: As far as Toyos go its M55 or go home!

WHAT DOES THE THREE-PEAK MOUNTAIN SNOWFLAKE SYMBOL ON TIRES MEAN? If you see this symbol on the sidewall of winter tires, it means they have been tested and proven capable of performing under extreme winter weather driving conditions.

I agree with everything you just said Special T.
I would like to pretend I know a lot about pickup truck tires, but I run so much used stuff on my rides that the newest most swank tires are beyond my comprehension. I do have a buddy in Wa, a Club member that runs these on his jeep. He mostly telecommutes so its a good fit. I really like those tires, but I run all kinds of miss matched craigslist crap on my rides I cant even buck up for new tires except on my wifes car.

I bought a 92 F250 recently and its due for rear tires.You never mentioned a size and if its 4wd which is a big pet peeve of mine on these kinds of posts

I go to work in the wee hours and sometimes have black ice or the plows haven't been out yet.
Hoping to not have to mess with chains.
I have a Wrangler on Toyo MT's to use if I Need to go somewhere in the snow.
I have studded tires for my wifes car and do not want to do that with the truck.
Just dont have the room for that many tires.
I have had dedicated winter tires on a Wagoneer I had but they were very soft compound and could not be run year round.
As to the 6 vs 10 ply what is the difference besides the load capacity ?

Honestly, a 2WD truck is pretty horrible on both ice and snow. If you do much snow driving I would get winter tires. If not, get whatever, carry chains and be cautious.

I run BFG KO2's now and have a set of chains for getting to the cabin when its deep. I don't get the same mileage out of the KO's but worth it to me. This setup works pretty good for me, I drive the pass every week in the winter.
