My 2500 ctd 2 wheel drive is worthless on snow ! Are there any hot tips on good tires. I've got Goodyear ATD-2 m/s and they were the biggest waste of money I ever spent , and wasn't cheap either. Thanks for any help

What tire size? Bridgestone Blizzak if you need a winter tire. Have you added weight to your bed. It help a lot on mine.

I use Michelin LTX M/S. Best all around tire I'v ever used. If you have a lot of snow days/miles, the Michelin LTX A/T also has a good rep (but I'v never used them).

BFG TA KO's on my '06 2500, and they hardly show any wear with over 25,000 miles on them.

Its not always so much on brand and tread with tires, as much as size. A narrower tire will help ya out just as much as a dedicated snow tread will.

With 2wd and a diesel in front, you need lots of weight in the back and a set of Cooper Discoverer STT's. Fantastic in the mud and snow. If they are too agressive for you. Get the Cooper Discoverer ATR's. I have them on our Expedition and Outback and they do excellent in the snow as well.

I put on 4 Copper Discoverer STT, had the center siped and love them compared to the factory Michelin LTX A/S tires that are worthless on the snow and ice. I can say the Copper was one of the few tires I looked at that did not have 2 ply sidewall tires. I was surprised how many E rated tires have 2 ply sidewall.

Michelins are the best tires on the market in almost every application.

They just don't make a tire big enough for my use so never bought them.

Have had really good luck with BFG's ATKO's but have heard the new ones are only D load, no more E loads.

Have had horrible luck with a set of Bridgestone Ravo's, they do ok in the snow but are wearing really fast.

Having good luck with a set of Nitto Terra Graplers. Affordable, good for a lot of miles with decent traction.

Know people who have had good luck with the Yokahama Geolanders. They are cheap to buy and are good for a lot of miles.

There was a guy on here, Hoss I believe? Did he not have a trick, or said he filled his bed with concrete?

Two wheel drive, diesel in front......any tire with a load of bricks in the bed. Have a steel place cut ya out a 4'x6' piece of 1/2" plate steel, lay in bed that should help, or dump the factory bed for a flatbed.
