The few posters that stated go with a narrow tires are right on the money. Those big wide tires are fine for summer use, but in deep snow you want a narrow tire to cut through and not plow and build resistance. That is a wide tires fault in snow, its width. Just think if you had tires that are 20 inches wide. Do you think they will work in any depth of snow? Tall and narrow studded tires are the best. Add chains to the front tires next. If you need more traction add rear chains. Adding chains turns a truck into a traction beast. And yes in a pickup you need weight RIGHT over the rear tires. I place about 500 pounds in a 2500 crew cab Chevy bed. Good luck.
