Perellis in snow
I found out today that these Perellis do not have traction in snow. We recieved our first decent snowfall here in Michigan today. Can anyone suggest a replacement tire that is good in snow. I think this subject has been brought up before,but could not find the thread. The tires on there now are the 20" Perellis. Thanks.

I'm not saying they are the best tires I've ever had in the snow, but its not like they spin or slide.

I lost two MPG going to the super heavy BFG's. I went back to Michelin AT2's and got my MPG back. BFG is a heavy tire with lots of rubber and shifty tread if you like spirited driving.
I think Ford went with the Perelli's for cost and fuel economy. They are the wimpiest looking truck tire I have ever had. But with EPA and everyone else pushing MPG's we won't see true truck tires from manufacturers anymore...

Not bad
I also haven't had any issues with the 20" Pirelli's. They are best for highway driving. I take my truck upstate NY regularly and have been pleased with performance. Than again, I'm not really off-roading.
I would just ride them out for like 30 to 40,000 miles than get a better all around tire.

Sure, they are fine for highway driving.
We had about 2 inches of powder on my driveway this morning, about a 7% grade, 1/2 mile long. If you maintain a low constant speed, fine. If I were to very lightly accelerate, the tires start spinning immediately. Then, at the end of my driveway, to turn onto the main road, I have to come to a complete stop, as do most people, and then accelerate and turn.... Time and time again the tires spin out, and it's embarrassing. I mean I'm not going to go change my tires... it's fine, it really doesn't snow that much around here, but it is slightly embarrassing. My other cars have no issues.
I'll ride them out and then look into some Mickey Thompsons or BFGs.
