FalconPilot Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Anyone looked into snow tires and wheels? The spair is a 265 75R 16. It has the same diameter as the stock 20"ers. I can't find a snow tire of the same diameter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Glad I don't need them. There has been plenty of discussion going on about it in other threads though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whmayhew Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 I bought my SS on March 14th here in Maine. We had snow quite a few times after this and I had no problems going in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 When winter gets here, make sure you guys post some pics of the ugly wheel/tire combos you end up going with. The uglier the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawk Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 The truck is AWD and has a long wheelbase; you should be fine without snow tires… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcswain Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 If we get snow, I'll test the AWD first, since we don't get a lot of SNOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 If we can order in bulk and get a discount I might be interested..................no wait. I live in Arizona. It doesn't snow here. Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whmayhew Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Lee, It doesn't snow in Arizona anymore? I was stationed in Fort Huachuca in 1971 and 1972 and we had overnight snow. Our whole company went up to the north rim of the Grand Canyon and I remember seeing snow on the ground at the top. I also remember it being 26 below in Flagstaff the night we spent there. We had to keep the trucks in the armory. Of course that was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
