I'm looking at putting a set of Pirelli SCORPION ALL TERRAIN PLUS 275/55R20 snow tires on my truck by the end of the month.

winter is coming

first dusting of snow yesterday
The final pieces of my lift kit are due to arrive today. That'll be a project to install (need to buy a floor jack, some jack stands, and a 1/2" torque wrench and then watch a whole bunch of Youtube to figure out what I'm doing).

After that, the next big project will be to replace the stock 32" tires and wheels with some 35s.

what was terrible about them?  I'm looking for something inexpensive (as usual) that does well on snow and ice.  They get the snowflake rating from Tire Rack.

not too concerned with ride or noise level
Very loud for sure, and they did not do well on a wet road.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Winter tires won't be very good above about 45°F, and summer tires are the reverse.

High performance summer tires are very good on wet pavement at higher Ts.

Outside temps under 70 are annoying, unless I'm running a half-marathon, in which case 65 is acceptable.

another great thing about living in the south 

only 1 set of tires necessary
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.
