I’ve had studded Hakkas two previous times before and with their new stud technology are excellent and much quieter than the typical studded tire. If you didn’t pay the extra 50 or so a tire I’d keep them. since You drove all the way home and didn’t notice I’d say they are ok noise wise. I only...

no, I just went with what I assumed would be best overall. Left it up to the tire shop to make sure it was appropriate. Narrower the tire the better in snow

The only info I really have on the wheels is the product code etc from Kal Tire. I never research these as my original intention was to get just plain steel winter wheels. The Kal Tire guy just showed me some pics of what would fit in black and I just happen to pick these. Kal Tire product code...

Definitely the Hakka’s. I just installed the new generation R5 but with 20” rims. 21’s OEM will be for spring and summer only.

I‘m ready for winter with my new Hakka R5 tires. Got some RTX wheels as I went with 20” tires to save hundreds on each tire. Kal Tire here in Canada is the only distributor you can buy Nokian . I’ve used them on all my vehicles and always been very very happy .

i got the black lugs from Kal tire as well. They did everything for me. Wheel, tires, TPMS , lugs and install.

Installed . The RTX wheels are fine as KalTire didn’t have plain wheels available and I think I prefer the look of these wheels over a blank steel. So far only short ride but the Hakka R5 feels nice on road. Smooth and zero noise as far as I’m concerned. I’m ready for the snow and highways now

have to wait another week as I was put back a week due to Kal tire ordering error.. will post in 7-10 days

Latest addition will be installed by KalTire here as I’m going with the 20” Nokian Hakka. R5 . Apparently the newest in studless tire technology. I’ve used Nokian on all my vehicles and never disappointed. New black rims too to fit the 20” tires. All done end of the following week. Will post pic

Great choice fyi.. an amazingly fun truck to drive. Enjoy

Penticton BC, Just picked up today!

Just picked up 3 hours ago. Love it!

I’ve been lurking here a while as I’ve been deciding on what to purchase since my wife and I have decided RV life not for us ... I loved the F350 6..7 Powerstroke but the RV is sold so no need to have the pickup for towing. The wife wouldn’t drive it anyways . Test drove the Ford Explorer ST and...

Welcome !

Hello everyone! Looking forward to learning lots on the forum. I currently am giving up on the RV life and a new Explorer ST will be in my future. A few more months I will order one so not sure if I’ll be getting a 2022 or 2023. My 2021 F350 Platinum 6.7 Tremor will be missed for sure but the...
