I've run Blizzak tires on my passenger cars here in Alaska in the winter and found them remarkable for traction on both snow and ice. I always ran studded tires on my truck.I was wondering if anyone had personal experience with these tires on their truck especially with a camper aboard.CheersJim

I can't say on the truck as I've always run studs on my POV's but all the vehicles in our company fleet have always run Blizzak's including the cargo vans. Got them on 10 cars and 2 Sprinters now.Nothing is worse in the snow than an empty Econoline but those Blizzaks made them seem like 4 wheel drive. With some weight in there they would climb mountains. We overloaded the van greatly and the tires had no problem.I do recall that we had to special order them in the higher load ranges. They do wear fast if the outside temp is to warm. Get them off early in the spring.

camp-n-family, I did not know that, thanks.Wayne

I ran them on my 4WD Tacoma in the winter to go 100 miles to work & back each day. They are an awesome tire and never let me down, like having chains on. They have a special rubber compound on the outer tread that suction cups ice on the road to grip better. I never used them off road but for the highway they are great!
