Tire question

[John_G2]

I'm looking to put winter tire on my F350 and have 3 choices in 275/65R20:

Firestone Winterforce LT
Toyo Open Country WLT1
Hankook RW11 i-Pike

I'm looking for any experience with any of these brands. Of the three I've had Toyo tires once (on a 2000 Pathfinder) and wasn't thrilled with them.

thanks.

Thanks. The early wear on the Toyo's is exactly what I found previously and was worried about.

That makes sense.

The Dynapro AT is still an all season tire. I'm looking for an actual winter rated tire - has the mountain and snowflake symbol. A number of the highways I drive on during the winter require either winter tires or chains... while I have chains the tires add some extra piece of mind.

Hankook is a very large Korean manufacturer that has a good track record. For winter tires i would go on price.
