Alright - I have an 2023 F150 XLT Crew Cab FX4 with Max Tow Package - I lucked out and it had the bench front seat so I could haul my 5 kids and better yet it was on the ground on the lot.
So the Scorpion's it came with have been ... terrible. We got our first snow and they are slick, had a heavy rain on a dirt/clay road and hydroplaned going 35 mph coming from a grouse hunt, wife said she almost got stuck in a 'deep' mud puddle when she drove it.
SO I was looking to get some new tires - it is the WORST time of year for that unfortunately here in Fairbanks/North Pole Alaska as everyone and their mother is doing the same.
I got my Wife Blizzaks when we first moved up here and I will get them for her this year on her new car once everything calms down. I hadn't planned on getting myself any tires but I don't think that is an option unfortunately. So I could get the Blizzaks for myself and just run them year round knowing that I'll wear them out in 3-4 years or get summer tires this summer. I want something that I can use hunting - gettting through 6" of wet snow in the spring during breakup as I try to climb back into some spring bear areas. Then also handle the mud/dirt and then snow.
Top choices right now are probably Cooper Discoverer AT3s, Bridgestone Dueler Revo 3s, Blizzaks, Wrangler Duratrac and Toyo Open Country AT3s.
What do you guys ride around on? Summers get to 90 and winters down to -50, we get good snow fall and we have a few periods during the year where the roads are slick. Tow a small trailer for the snow machine but throw the quad in the bed. Thanks guys.
