Consumer Reports: Winter/Snow Truck/SUV Tires 2018
Truck winter/snow tires are specifically designed for pickups and SUVs. Like car winter/snow tires, always use truck winter/snow tires in a set of four for optimum grip to go, stop, and corner. But on cleared roads they might not grip as well as all-season tires, and they tend to wear more quickly. Size tested: 215/60R17.
