Best tires I have experienced in over 67 years of driving. Great traction on icy highways and yet very good wear

Excellent traction on snowy and icy highways, yet long tread life. I am located in BC’s Cariboo where it is usually snowy and below freezing all winter.

Completely Satisfied With Performance and Quality

Been using on my F150 Supercab 8 foot box. These aluminum trucks need good tires in winter due to their light weight, and these WLT1's perform just as well as the Eskay 10 ply studded winters I used to run. I run just over 200 KM of highway, then 70 KM of poorly maintained bush road every week to work, then a week of driving back and forth in mine on gravel, rock and mud and extreme winter conditions and so far these tires have not let me down or got me stuck. No stone drills, no flats and nice even tread wear. I cycle them 2 years as winter tires, then put those on my summer rims and get 2 more years out of them. They also handle well in summer towing my antique tractors at a gross weight of up to 12,000 pounds.

Very happy with these tires

Always had good life and service from Toyo M-55,s on all my pickups so thought I would try these WLT's on my GMC 3500 HD 4X4 last winter. Excellent performance and quiet. Wont go back to any other winter tire.

Bought these for my F-150 as I do a lot of highway driving. They have been great tires so far had them on for 1 season, no issues, great traction and braking in the winter months.

5 winters and still going

5 winter seasons of use and they are still looking new. Only gripe I have is they are not studdable. Intersection polished ice would be nice to have the studs. Installed on 2017 Ram Mega cab DRW. Run from late October to end of March.

Very Good Winter Performance

I have used this tire for two Canadian winters now on a 2500 truck with very good results. Quiet compared to my all season summer tires, handle ice and snow very well (even at high hwy speeds), side wall doesn't fold in cornering or trailering. It took a few km's to break-in but now drives straight without steering wooble. Suspect the mileage life will be poor, but they are winter tires with a softer compound and I buy tires for handling and driving security.
