    Getting my Hakka's put on this coming weekend...had her out last night and she was definitely not happy with the tires she had on(Dunlop Sport Maxx).

    For the DD: going to wait as long as I can, I have my Hakkas mounted on steelies so I can swap when the snow flies.

    Was originally thinking of keeping the all seasons on for the winter but figured if I could get winters for a decent price I would do it. But the Dunlop ones from bmw cost so much.
    Psa

    Do not go to Costco, its a gong show there and those kids are overworked and don't spend enough time balancing the tires right.

    Got my BF Goodrich AT K02 installed and picked up yesterday. Can tell they are heavier and they do make a bit of a thrum at low speeds but other than that I can hardly tell a difference.

    Really? Man, that's nice to know a Beyonder is looking after my truck when it's there. That's why the service experience has been so good.

    Glad to hear. I hope your wind noise is taken care of, but if not let me know.

    We've had such a beautiful mild fall - does that mean that winter is going to hit hard and fast?? Someone reminded me that last year we had -22C in early November.....really? I put my winter set-up on last week

    This thread needs another photo.

    My 19" Nokian Hakkapoliitta 8 studded are in @ KalTire, and are being mounted on a set of custom Volk Red Volk Progressive ME's... should all be mounted up to the RCF this week

    White letter BF Goodrich T/A's - I see that retro 70/80's trend is maybe coming back?

    OWL's coming back big time! I wouldn't have bought these if they didn't come with them.

    Size is 275/65/18.

    Looks like a good fit. Any rubbing? I have the same truck, stock size is 265 65 18. I assume you bumped yours up a size as well.

    Been using the Hankook i-Pike W409 for the past decade almost. It's difficult to switch once you are accustomed to a certain tire. Just realized the W409 was discontinued and the W419 is the improved version so I'm a bit excited to see/feel the differences.

    I opt for non studded because there are a lot of dry days with the Chinook.

    I'm not sure which model they were, but I've driven ipikes on a couple different cars and have always been super disappointed compared to my Blizzaks. They could have been the cheaper models though.
