My F-150 has Hankook Dynopro AT/m tires, 275/55/20. So far I'm pleased with the tires, there quiet, seem to grip well and look decent. My question is will these tires be fine for winter? They seem to have a somewhat of a aggressive tread pattern, my neighbor uses them for winter and says they work well. Are you guys using the OEM tires for winter on your trucks or going to a dedicated snow tires? Thanks.

That is a pretty decent looking tire, specially for an OEM, bet they are at least good in the snow. Are they rated M&S or all season?

Hankook has them rated as an All Season Premium M+S.

If it has the M+S rating then I also agree that they would make a great tire. You are primarily in the city? Am I correct Hemant?

I have the same tires on my truck. They look like they'd be decent but I have no experience in the snow with them. I'm going to a dedicated winter tire because I have an 80km commute early, sometimes before the plow and also to save the stockers from all the salt and shit.

I think you'll be ok with those. I have duratracs that were great the first 2 seasons but I have a feeling that the performance won't be there after almost 35k kms. That goes for most AT M+S tires though.

9 km's to work you'll be fine.

These tires are so much better than the Pirelli scorpions they used to
Put on f150's, I wouldn't be afraid to run them in the winter.

I had those tires on my 2015 F150. They were great in snow

Not many sipes.

So outfitted the truck with Hankook RW11 i-Pikes

Much more appropriate for winter in the GTA.

edit: also meant I had to get new rims. So does not count as a "mod".
