Trucks future new shoes.
Current OEM Michelin Primacy XC 275/65R18 116T
'18 F150 4x4 7000 GVWR
Max in service GCW 13,300 lb
98% Highway
Typically 3 Snow Days a Year
Some Gravel & Unimproved Roads with some mud (Farm & Logging Road type stuff).
Tires Age Out before Mileage Out.
Complaints with current tire:
Doesn't handle Packed Snow or Ice Well.
Fine in light snow before packed and refrozen.
Not really chip resistant in rocks.
Requirements:
Good Wet Braking
At least average in Snow & Ice
Chip Resistant
I think a Highway tire with the correct design bias would be best (Don't want to compromise 98% of the time for the other 2%).
I'm seriously considering the General Grabber HTS 60 in 275/65R18 116T (I have had no trailering stability issues with the passenger rated tires on the truck).
Anyone want to talk me out of the HTS 60?
