Blizzaks are simply amazing.

No AT tire comes close to a dedicated snow tire.

ATs are not even the same league as a dedicated snow tire when on ice/packed Snow.

Ended up ordering 20” Blizzak DM-V2’s this morning. There seems to be supply issues and not much choice out there so I jumped on them when they came back in stock at Costco (they constantly go in and out of stock). Can’t even order them through my dealer. I’ll probably just rock the factory 20” alloys all year. It’s a 3 year lease and will likely be traded in at that point anyway. Not keen to run ugly steelies on this truck and don’t feel like spending another $1,000+ on half decent rims.

Anyway- excited to try the DM-V2’s out. I’ve only had Michelin’s x-ice for the last 8 years on my 4Runner. Could run the Hankook AT’s but reviews are mixed and I don’t want to have to think about road conditions 4 months of year whether I’m travelling or trying to get somewhere important.

I bought Duratracs last year and also found them good in snow. We have a cabin at 9600 feet that gets a good amount of snow and has a steep driveway and never had any issues going up. The noise and stickiness of them definitely make them a compromise tire for summer, but they aren’t bad and I was happy with how they handled winter. I do keep tires in the back for emergencies, and while they are great they still aren’t as competent as the Blizzaks on our CR-V, though the difference is less than I would have expected.
Ive run Duratracs on the last 3 trucks.
Year round in Alberta.
I hate swapping tires out.
They are louder and ride rougher than some,but offer very good traction year round.
BFGs are good too but last no where near as long for the gravel I do.
The Duratracs are going on my new truck when it gets here.

I went with Blizzaks since I wanted to see what all the hype was all about. Wasn't happy with the X-Ice2/3 that were on other vehicles, however they say that the new X-Ice Snow is much better.
I've had Nokian's on four vehicles and have had zero complaints with them.

Sidebar-anyone know if we need separate wheel nuts for steelies? Or will the stock ones do?
