Do you have summer tires?
My boss just threw up the idea to me of getting another set of rims/tires for summer use to save the winter A/T treads for winter plowing. Any of you guys do the same, have a different set of rims/tires to run in the summer?

I run ATs year round, but I do alot of back roads/no roads stuff durring the summer. I don't know how many miles it would take to pay off, but the more miles you guys put on, the quicker it will pay.

I'm currently running 4 Yokohama Geolandar AT/S Tires. Good stuff, plus, they are wearing well in the summer now.
Mine are 265s.
Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S
Overall, I don't think I'll put another type of tire on my truck. Took me through plowing season great on a open diff with 3.73s.
