I've been really pleased with my Co-Op Grip Spurs. They are
very similar to the Powerking Super Traction tires except
they are non directional. They ride really well on dry or wet pavement
as well as in mud. I did not have them last winter, so I can't
comment on ice/snow although I did notice that they are set up
to be studded if needed. A little bit less expensive than current
production military NDT's in the same size.
Other folks like the Michilen X series of tires as used on the LAV,
but they are a bit pricey in comparision, but they are radial.
A good place to source tires for these things is a local farmer's Cooperative.
I've been getting my tires at a Southern States near my parent's place
in the Virginia mountains. The guys have no problems with split rims, "odd" sizes,
or calling around to get tires that they don't usually stock. They also
tend to be real knowledgeable on what works well on and off road in their area...
Just stay away from the co-ops that think they are suburban lawn and garden centers...
A lot depends on how you use your truck.
