Default All Season / Winter Tires

I have the OE Michelins on my truck which almost bought be a FedEx van last weekend. Great for freeway driving, quiet, but horrible on any type of snow/ice.

Any suggestions on tires for all season or winter conditions? Anyone know what the biggest tire size you can put on a stock 2013 GMC 4X without rubbing?

Thanks.

400 lbs of sand or rock salt in the bed will do wonders.

Toyo open country at 2s! Just had them installed on my truck two weeks ago and have been caught in several snow storms. Best tire I have ever had, hands down. Check reviews. It's a 60k tire and well worth taking a look at them.

I wasn't being a dick. I'm serious weight = traction.

I found my Michelin LTX are pretty good in the snow. My Avalanche weighs 7000 lbs though.

For winter you don't want a big wide tire. Go with a normal OEM size.

1500/2500/3500 Lifted or leveling kit? Let me know and I will let you know what the biggest tire you can run on your truck.

Michelins suck in the snow and hardpack , hard as hell, winter treads or reg radial street tires work great or maybe get them siped .
