My nephew has an '02 Ford Ranger with a 3.0 V6 and 2WD.
He is currently running Cooper Cobra GT radials in size
225-70-15. Winter is here and he is ready for a new set.
I asked him if he liked the Cobras and if so, to use the
same when he replaces tires. He does like the Cobras but
still wants better tires for the money and doesn't want
to be white knuckeled while driving in the snow. Price is
a concern as are the look of the tires on the truck. We
went on several tire web sites and viewed several tires
that stuck out as having the criteria that fits his needs.
We have also read some reviews to try and narrow down his
choices. What we've come up with is again the Cooper Cobra,
BF Goodrich Radial TA's and Kumho Solus KR-21. I just don't
know what tire to recomend to someone that drives a 2WD only truck that suck at best in the snow. I just don't know how people do it. I just can't do that white knuckle $#!+ anymore!
Can anyone comment on tires for this application. Summer and
wet roads are not a concern but, the snow is the biggest factor
and snow tires are not on the list. Some sand bags over the rear axel and helper springs in the rear will contribute to some stability for this suck(I mean truck!). Thanks for any help.
