I live in snow country. I would recommend BF Goodrich Trailmaker M+S
tires. I put a set of 4 on my '93 V6 CC 5 Sp. Best combination I
found. Put about 500 lbs in the back between the wheel wells and
you've got some excellent traction for a truck. Use sand not cinder
blocks, don't want a cinder block coming through the back window and
clobering you in the head, if you were to have an accident.
