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

Jan 12, 2025

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.

Thanks for sharing "Brownie". BC's Cariboo region can certainly get some challenging conditions in the winter. Safe travels!

Completely Satisfied With Performance and Quality

Nov 14, 2024

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.

5 winters and still going

Sep 15, 2022

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

Apr 16, 2022

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.
