Browning Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 On my 1991 s10. thing sucked last winter but I had shitty tires. Looking to buy only two for the rear for now and I'm not sure what to run. Don't want anything expensive though if I can help it. 195/75/14 That's the stock size for this truck. Really just looking for a winter tire, not an all season. Got a set of tires from Derek on here a few years ago. Does he just keep a pile of tires or what?

Draco-REX Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 They're not *great* in the snow, but they don't suck, and they're cheap: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?search=true&performance=W&width=195/&ratio=75&diameter=14&x=4&y=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the 2 best things to weigh down the truck bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 did this last year with wood and it didn't work good enough sounds liek u didnt put enough weight in there then... step it up load it with logs an then put snow on that so it all freezes an its jsut one big piece of ice in the back bam instant traction. if if didnt work u didnt use it enough an bags of sand. softntner things cost money.. logs an snow can be had for free :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, you can use it for traction if you get stuck. Hence the point of sand or salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Used Torsen diff from an f-body? Great for snow and are plentiful and cheap. You'll still need decent tires though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I used to run cheap snow tires on the tacoma with no weight in the back, and had no problems. Cheap snow tires work better than any all seasons, doesn't matter too much what you get IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Having had 5 S10s now beleive me they just don't have much weight in the back. As long as you have an all-season tire with good tread, put about 500 lbs in the bed. That is how I've gotten around with any of my trucks. The S10 I have now has a locker in it and that makes a big difference too. There is just something about a 2WD S10 that sucks worst then most in the snow.

Nickey4271647545519 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 how are they price-wise locally? I run winterforce tires on the back of my 92 s10 and i love them in the winter. I think i got two, mounted and balanced for $140 at Pond Tire II just north of sunbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 For something like an s10 the Winterforce would be great & cheap to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
