    Yes, appreciate the pics!! That confirms that the black on red look works well!! Assume you kept the Platinum wheels for summer? I'm going the opposite, keeping the Platinum wheels for winter and got a nice set of Brink Insurgent black wheels for summer.

    Thanks! :thumbsup:

    When running winter or 3 peak tires do you guys still add some extra weight to the bed for rear wheel traction?

    First time owning a pick up. I live in southwestern Ontario so I am no stranger to winter driving. Just curious if people are adding weight and if so what are they using?

    Sorry for the somewhat off topic post

    What do you guys use for TPMS (tire pressure monitor)?

    I did not buy any TPMS. I just used regular valve stems. The tpms light doesn’t bother me. I just make sure the tire pressure is where it should be.

    Hello X42069.

    Even with winter tires I usually place 2 bins filled with sand bags directly over the rear wheel area. This adds enough traction to prevent the rear end from swinging around.

    Plus if you are very stuck in some nasty ice you can use the sand to improve the situation.

    I hope this helps. Have a good one.

    I wanted a faster vehicle so I also bought a Chevy SS... because 4 door sedans with big V8’s are hilarious.
    I had a coworker who drove a 5.0L V8 Mustang year round, and mounted Hakka’s with studs on it. Never got stuck or slid off the the road working on call in some really nasty winter storms in the Black Hills driving down to Edgemont from Rapid City.

    Whatever my next truck is, it will get a wheel and tire set of studded Hakka’s for winter.

    Agreed, the weather in the valley is erratic enough it doesn’t make sense to run winters for the 2 or 3 times you may need them for 2 hours in the morning. Hard to justify. I can get by with my A/T’s. If anything I’ll run non studded on my wife’s AWD Durango for peace of mind. It’s the family ride that my wife and 1.5yr old are always in so it’s worth it

    If you have a discount tire near you they have been good for winter tire changes and TPMS changeovers. I am not sure how the 2022+ work, but for the 2017 and 2021's I have had the computer cannot store two sets of tires. Discount tire will put on/off the winters (if mounted on rims) for free and change the TPMS sensors in the trucks computer for you too. The sensors are usually 60$ a piece (you can find cheaper elsewhere) and installation is otherwise free if you are also mounting tires at the same time. So its a 240$ fee to 1) Not have annoying light 2) Tire places will sometimes refuse to put on if TPMS is not installed and 3) Can actually see the pressures, if vehicle has that option (not my 2017).

    I previously have used blizzaks (5 seasons on a Tundra), but just got a set of studded Hakkas LT3, very curious to compare the difference on/off road. I suspect the Hakkas will be better in most situations, possibly rain + concrete could do worse. I have heard that the studs are not as loud as the competition, although prior studded vehicles didn't seem that loud to me. They are definitely not as siped as the blizzaks were and are a little harder than the blizzaks too. I would imagine though the Hakkas will last 40-50K miles whereas the blizzaks become so-so around 15-20K.
