Wondering what to do about tires for my truck. One set or two? Do I want to drive around with mud tires? probably not. Gonna be a big bill either way.

If you want to run 2 sets, snow tyres are genrally a bit more aggressive than most all-terrains and usually offer great mud/slush grip without being as horrible as mud tyres in the wet, cold and on-road. Square shoulders means they track well on gravel roads.

Stupid potholes.

Rocks seem to be my MTB tyre nemesis, and rims as well, probably something to do with pies and ignoring the rocks...
