I bought my first diesel pick-up last year, a RAM 3500 4x4. The OEM tires are OK on pavement and light snow, but proved bad in deep snow and mud of any depth and consistency. So I put on a set of Goodyear DuraTracs (never had before, but they seem well thought of for the application.) Better in the deep stuff. but still not great. I was thinking the cause is because of the heavy front end of the diesel, but I don't know since I don't have anything to compare it to. The truck with these on seemed to struggle and would move from side to side while it was trying to dig through deep snow. Not a good feeling on narrow mtn roads. On snow packed highway they would get loose in conditions my old 3/4 GMC gasser would stay locked up, but to be fair the GMC had auto 4. Also the old GMC would handle the deep snow better, but that was with Kelly Safari TSR's.
So my question, for the type vehicle I have is there a tire you have found that works well in the conditions described?
