Quick Dumb Question About Snow Tires

[pocket-rocket]

They must be cheap down there... lol I sold a set of them (pretty well used mind you) up here for 350. I think 235/75/15. The other set was Master craft Glacier Grip 2's 225's practically brand new for 350 as well. and then I bought my SST's for about 460 employee discount.

My truck has 14" rims and I opted for the skinnier of the two sizes they gave me, that way I had more force on a smaller contact patch = traction in snow.

I think the 2 older tires say Wintermaster with no Firestone logo and the newer ones say Winterforce on the sidewall with "Firestone" 180 degrees opposite. But they are the same tire.

If they are the same tread then you probably have the Bridgestone Winter forces and then the firestone winterforces. Bridgestone made then but didn't put thier name on them.

Well the studs are steel so they are probably gonna rust on the surface.

They usually aren't steel, they're likely carbide.
