hey all i have a 2019 ford f350 limited, and in Canada here our winters get pretty bad with alot of snow. I mostly do city driving but i do also do some highway driving and sometimes have a trailer on as well to load some stuff up. I believe my current tires are the stock ones that come on the limited which i believe are r20. btw the truck is a lease so i am not sure what im gonna do with it in the future. if im gonna buy back or get in a new one.
The roads where I live always get cleaned up so its not like im going to get stuck in the snow, I mostly care about the ice or snow thats slick.
I want to get strictly winter tires as I dont think the all seasons/all weather i have on my truck can really cut it. I know some of the high end all seasons are pretty good like K02 And or Duratracs but i think im leaning on getting strictly winters. So I wanted to ask the following
what would you guys do and cost wise what difference am i looking at if i do the following
1. Purchase winters tires which will fit on my stock wheel which i believe are 275/65/r20. I know these are gonna be pricey/harder to find since there r20, and in this case i would have them reinstalled every winter and then taken off in the spring and put my all seasons back.
2. purchase winter tires in a smaller better size like r17 or r18 or whatever with dedicated rims, and then swap the tire/rim combo every winter .
3. purchase a high end all season like a duratac or something and then put those on for winter and put my oem all seasons on for the rest of the month. the reason i included this option is that by the time i am done my lease and if i decide to give the truck back to them, one set of tires will for sure be done. im already at like 40,000 km's and still have 2 more years to go. my current tires seem fine and i think they are good for atelast another sunner. so if i do this option, then at the end of the lease ill just throw on the set of tires that have the acceptable amount of tread and return it with those (which will probably be the ones used in winter). cuz i assume i cant return it with winters obviously.
let me know and thanks so much!!
