Winter tires other than Nokian LT3

I ran ko2’s living in Vail for some time and NEVER had a problem.

I run the Falken Wildpeaks over Snoqualmie pass quite often. They are a good tire.

Josh84, how is the ride with the D load range, I'm in the market for a designated set of snow tires for a second set of rims I have but I don't want to make things worse with the way 2017 rides sometimes

I honestly can't tell the difference in ride (no better, no worse), which is nice and will probably ride better when towing my camper in the summer.
This is the 3rd set of Duratracs I have bought. 1st 2 were on a 2006 F-150 and a 2014 f-150.
Even if these tires were no better than the K02's in ride or on snow/ice (they are, big time), they are lighter, (1lb) they are cheaper ($15), they have more tread depth (3/32 more) and I expect from previous experience they will last at least 20k more miles.
My original plan was to put the Duratracs with studs on my original 2018 wheels and run the K02's in the summer on my 2020 wheels, but in the beginning of November I realized my K02's were lower tread than I thought and just said screw it I'm just buying Duratracs and running all year long.

Thanks for all of that information, I will definitely use it to help make my decision
