Wow, such a variety of experience! Hard to know what to think.
I wonder if there is something else you guys would recommend for me? IIRC, the transforce are not rated all that great for rain.
Transforce ATs are fine in the rain. Any tire is when it has tread depth. None of them are when almost bald.
They are not awesome in snow and they are worse in wet or deeper snow.
BUT if you're concerned about snow/ice driving, get them siped. It will increase treadwear if heyre loaded to capacity but won't affect treadwear much if you're running them a ways below their limit. Either way, a full width sipe makes almost any tire much better in/on the frozen stuff. My tire of choice for heavy towing in the winter is a full block mud tread (horrible on packed or wet snow) with sipes. Turns them into a whole different tire.
Transforce are cheap tires(cost) comparatively and gained my respect after 5000mi of beating a set down the freeway in July with 8000lbs on the rear axle of my pickup.
