    Winter wheels & sneakers - 2011 Runner

    Wish I could have gotten my hands on steel wheels like yours, been cheaper for me I'm sure. I bucked 3 to 4 foot snow drifts yesterday during our "blizzard" and no slip/slide. Quite sure I'm gonna like the Blizzaks and I know I'm going to be happy with the runner - turned over 1500 today - no...

    We can run studs in Maine from October to May. I run studs on my plow truck but opted not to on the runner due to the noise. I've noticed that the Blizzaks are quite soft and that would make them wear faster, espically on dry roads. On the other hand the soft rubber is what makes them so good...

    Couldnt put my hands on a set of steel wheels in a timely manner and these were the cheapest wheel I could get. I'd much prefer to run steelies cause of the road salt. Hopefully they will hold up and I'll have decent wheels year round.

    If you're asking lighter as far as weight, I'm assuming you are, the are about the same as the stock wheels.

    Opinion of Party Mode?

    "Tailgate" Party Mode Gives you a little better bass response with the backdoor open. Works good if your trying to serenade wild "ana-mules"!:guitar2::reddance:

    Winter wheels & sneakers - 2011 Runner

    Just replaced my stock wheels & tires (20") with a winter set. I went with the MB Gunner (Machined finish) aluminum wheel and Bridgestone Blizzak DMV-1 tire. First experience with the Blizzak's, so far I like them in snow & slush. I took off 245 60 R20 & replaced with 265 70 R17, which gave...

    A shot in the dark - may be a vacuum line / vacuum / brake booster issue. Old truck - lotsa miles could be most anything.
