Winter tire recommendations
Any recommendations for winter tires and wheels for our 2019 Ram 3500 dually? We live an hour north of Montréal Quebec. Winter can get nasty.

....from Quebec here. We've used BFG TA/Ko "three peaks" tires, and now Goodyear Duratrac (huge rubber blocks, very deep tread) "three peaks" snow rated.
....however, we very rarely ever actually drive in snow conditions, because camper is stored indoors 7 months a year. But that 7 months doesn't guarantee that we won't encounter snow storms in Quebec outside that 7 month winter period. I've had to drive in snow when camper was out of storage in Quebec maybe ~4 times. Glad I had the above winter-rated tires! Once, while heading across Wyoming on way to Salt Lake City on I-80, we hit a 300 mile, um, blizzard, with tractor-trailers and vehicles off the road along the entirety of this storm in June, glad we are always prepared with "three peaks". I've never worn down a three peaks tire on our truck camper rig before needing to change the tires due to "old age but with plenty of tread left" and/or sidewall cracking, with plenty of tread depth.
On edit: BFG TA/Ko and Duratrac aren't the only tires used in our region (Eastern Townships mountains region)...our tire place sells tons of Blizzak and Nokian three peaks winter-rated rubber.....
