are there any good snow tires out there that wont wear down too fast with daily driveing. ill probably have a size 33x12.50, do i need to do anything besides a lift to run 12.50s?

 

probably some offset rims or some wheel spacers...12.50's are probably going to rub a little bit...well...depending on the lift you get...might be a SLIGHT loss in power...so if u plan on going to a bigger tire in the future...u might as well regear now..

 

well i would regear to 4:88s now because i dont plan on going bigger than 33s but i dont have the cash for that now. im going cheap on the lift too i will have chevys in the rear and maybe rears up front but im not sure yet. but ive heard its not much of a loss in power so for now i wont regear. i was thinking probably i would have to get wheel spacers but i wasnt sure.

 

From 30s to 33s, you will feel a MAJOR loss in power.

 

maybe but ive heard several times when people switch from 31s to 33 its not much of a difference. but i could be wrong.

 

so does anyone know any good snow tires that wont wear out too fast?

 

Well your truck will run and all, but expect to have bad gas mileage and loss of power. It's bad enough with these 22r(e)s.

As for snows, get some stock 235/75/15s and get em fairly cheap and swap em out w/your off-road tires. They will last a while and give you good gas mileage.

 

Snow tire compounds are really soft, so you will not see as much pavement mileage with those. If your roads are covered with snow all winter long, then maybe you will see more mileage.

But like Djlarroc said, just get some stock snow tires.

 

Definitely go with djlarroc's choice for tires 235/75/15. I live in the Birkshires in MA and we get a lot of snow. Skinny tires are the way to go. A fatter tire like the 12.5 will just let you run on top of the white stuff, you want to dig in and a narrower tire will do this. I don't think the price on 235's will shock you but see if the place you get them will do winter/summer changeovers for free. A lot of places will. Good luck

I live in the snow and i have 33x1250 bfgmts and they work pretty well

 

I believe Disc. Tire does this. However, it would be smarter to just get another set of OEM rims or steel wheels for the snow tires. You can find them for pretty cheap.

 

i went from 31s to 33s and i could still peel out hella easy, didnt notice any power loss hardly
