I need a tire recommendation. Two winters ago I was tooling around Amarillo in a Dodge Dakota with Bridgestone Dueler A/T's. They had no problems handling the conditions I routinely faced there. Last winter, I had just bought a Cummins 2500 4x4 Ram and was immediately called up out of the reserves to go to Iraq. Now I'm back and discovered this winter that the current set of factory tires wil be inadequate for the conditions I face there this year. First hint of ice, and the truck turns into an Ice Skate. I understand this happens to any vehicle on ice, but some tires offer a little better grip then others.
With that in mind, I'd like to toss out my working conditions and see what some of you are using and recommending for winter conditions on your 2500/3500 Rams.
I am the manager at a wind power plant outside Amarillo. In the winter, we get lots of rain, and our site roads are dirt/caliche, which can get very soft. I also need to deal with snow, and more importantly, ice; because Amarillo frequently gets ice storms.
Thanks.
