The ones on the left look like the Mastercraft Tires I have on the 2019.

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
Yup....msr. love em for pa winter driving.


They wear out in 25k though ...

The Ford I have now...the stock tires suck...and those msr tires really get shredded to shit on these fords over the older gm.....next year I will have them...these just got 10 on em now...so I just home to make the winter. The ranger is good though.

Mine only have a couple winters under their belt but they have held up well so far. Just an example of one. So, your mileage may vary.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Shop truck has the small ones...the 35s for the ranger.View attachment 69102View attachment 69103
The 35s are real similar to the Firestone winterforce.

I've bought winterforces every time I've needed snows. I'll continue to do so as well, id find it hard to believe that there's a much better snowtire out there. They're on the cheaper side of things as well which is nice.

I had those (studded) for my Fit. They were awesome winter tires.

Oddly enough, my choptop on 35s goes ridiculously well in snow and ice. Has BFG ATs on the front and BFG MTs on the back. Before that I was locked front and rear on 33s that were Ground Hawg knock-offs and it was unstoppable then. Well, when I wasn’t breaking front axles anyway. I’m intending on putting Mastercraft Courser MXT tires on it next.

I had an 86 mustang coupe with a 5.0 5 speed that would go anywhere in snow that was less than 12" deep, which we never see anymore. I worked at pep boys at the time, so i got a discount on tires. I put used 205 65 15 Goodyear factory gm tires on the front, because i could get free ones with excellent tread almost weekly. On the rear i put the pep boys 265 50 15 super sport tires. That little car would go & stop like it was on dry pavement. Those super sport tires were really good all around tires, i used to drag race alot & they hooked up really good for a radial tire.
