Alaska - Broncos or 90s ford trucks in Fairbanks? Winter tires or all season?

[LeBronc]

just got up here from wisconsin. would like to keep my rare 265/75r15 size so as to not throw off my speedometer, however the popular winter tire blizzaks doesn’t run that size, I’d have to drop 2 inches to 235/. Mechanic said to give the all seasons I got on there a try first since I have 4x4.
Any thoughts? I see more broncos here than I have on my whole trip here. Montana was close in number on the road, maybe more yard ornaments though

On my 4x4's never had any problem with all season tires.
Blizzaks are great but I only run them on cars. Never tried a 4x4

Yo 96broncorojo,
Ask neighbors or local repair shops about use of chains in icy or heavy snow situations.

My '95 was delivered from the factory with 265/75r15's per the door sticker but it had 31x10.50x15's on it when I bought it. They're virtually the same size. No speedo mods required. BTW, I bought my '83 new and it came from Ford with 31x10.50x15's. Take a look at the BFG's. They're pretty good 4 wheeling tires and do well in the snow.

We use studs where I'm at up here. Might not be legal in the cities tho...
