F 450 19.5 tire options

Looking to see if anyone here has tried a tire called windpower wdw82 also goes by the husky brand it's a winter approved tire Chinese I was told by dealer he says lots of them to delivery truck operators and they like them. I looked at toyo w920a but they price out to $3000 for 6 the windpower are $1800 all Canadian prices
Thnx Marc

I'm not familiar with those tires but I think I've narrowed down on mine for either a Continental HDR or the new Continental Scandinavia HD3 on all 6 tires. Reason for stick with Continental is they all have the highest speed rating at 87mp. The HD3s were around $2500.00 us installed. Looks like the HD3s will be best for rain and snow.

I haven't ran 19.5s yet (current 450 has the 17"s) but when I was researching upgrading regarding ride quality, balancing, etc I was advised to stay away from cheaper imports. But that could have just been the dealers trying to ease my concerns to get me to buy.

Thanks for the input just asked a mechanic from a paving company in town here they have 4 f 450's and 2 bread van style trucks and have been running these windpower tires for at least 6 yrs and no complaints yet!!!
Not really worried about the 87mph rating there rated at 81mph and that's at full capacity don't think I will ever get to that weight also never usually drive past 70mph
