Any suggestions for a good tire that can be left on year round?
Half-ton pickup, only gets driven around town in the winter.
Been running Falken Wild Peaks since I bought them in 2017. Stopped switching to my studded winters in 2021 when the winters were 10 years old…..now the Falken’s are needing replacement.

Re: My Truck...
I highly recommend Sumatomo winter tires. I run them year round fuck it. They've been on for 3 years so far and I'll probably get another one before I replace themMëds wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2026 4:17 pm Any suggestions for a good tire that can be left on year round?

Re: My Truck...
Most people up here, including myself either run KO2s, or Duratracs all year.
Re: My Truck...
I ran KO2's for years, was never very happy with them, when Duratracs came out I switched, ran those for 14+ years getting them siped when I bought them.
Last year I realized I hadn't been out in lug nut deep sloppy mud that the Duratracs shine in and switched to Michelin Defender LTX MS (the MS2 wasn't available in the size I wanted).
Get past the old man look and realize how fantastic they are. Highway, city, FSR, drill trail, snow or ice. Also the first time I've heard my engine over the tire whine.

The old siped Duratrac pizza cutters

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Re: My Truck...
Tundras come with Michelin LTX Trails, which new owners dump on FB Marketplace as soon as they get their new wheels. I picked up a set 30% worn on TRD rims for $650. You can typically get a set brand new on TRD rims for $1K. They're quiet, great for fuel economy, but wear fast. Still a great deal though.
Not sure if this kind of thing happens with other brands but if so it can be relatively inexpensive to run summers and winters.
