Hi Guys,
I have been searching around for an answer to this - all reviews I have found show "SNOW" in the ratings but none mention the readers thoughts on running tires on Ice. The crappy dueler HTs I have now do fine in snow as I'm more than sure an MT would do - but when there has been recent freezing rain (like today), I can just sit in 4hi on the skinny pedal and go now where fast in the front and to the passenger side curb in the rear while the tires spin. Braking is even worse - I think I lost a filling from all the ABS vibrations.
I'm pretty sure I will be picking up a set of 265/75/16 Toyo Open Country M/Ts to run on my truck this year. But the reason for my question is if these tires are not good on freezing rain style ice or very slick road ice (some may call black ice), I am going to have to delay other parts of my build up in order to afford a second set of tires and rims for next winter (probably dedicated winter tires if I'm going to spend the money)
I should point out, that total days like this a year are less than 20 in my area - usually no longer than 1 day at a time before the horde of street salters make their way through town
Thanks for any help you can give
