Shoulda told them to flip them when you bought it.

White letters look great on the right vehicle.

White maybe the only vehicle color that it looks good on, white walls look good on a caddy with the right rims. Unless it's an older car the white walls and letters just looks dated with today's sportier looking rides

They're gonna flip them when it goes back in for its protective coating.
That's a badass truck right there. And I kind of like the white letters out. Ha.
Gorgeous truck clayrhye! I was drooling over one I saw out on the road today

I used to use only Blizzaks as well until I did some research last year and found Nokian. I put their Hakkapelita R2s on my car and they've been better than the last two sets of Blizzaks I had. According to a number of professional reviews, they're more durable than Blizzaks as well.
Of the 3 brands I've owned with winter tires, the Blizzaks take last for me. Don't take me wrong, they were good tires and I'd be fine running them every year if that's all there was. They didn't hold a candle to my Nitto winter tires though and this year's purchase of Hankook has been super pleasing.
The Hankook are slightly different though since they are more performance winter tires than straight winter tires. They handle better at freeway speeds and are quiet as can be. I also got the entire set for $400 from my connection. Blizzaks were $750. No brainer for me.

Nitto.....
Ok. Well just have to agree to disagree.
Nitto have been consistently the worst tires I have ever owned .
Tried grapplers and a winter tire I can't recall and they were both awful.

Which grapplers? The terras are excellent all terrains , the muds are crap on the road but some I father best available off road, the trails are basically toyo mts which are widely considered the best. The Dunes are junk I will give you that.

I am a blizzak guy myself but have tried many others. One thing I have found is that winter tires don't react the same on every vehicle. I've driven cars with blizzaks that I thought handled the snow like crap and that same car with firestone winterforce tires and it was amazing. The sizing of the winter tire has a lot to do with it and companies slightly change the tread design based on how wide the tire is which can effect how it reacts on one car vs another.

What were your complaints? I haven't had them, but they are everywhere here. As pretty good balance of off road ability with some decent manors on the road.

Loud and very poor wet weather traction, especially in the snow.
I thought bfg t/a KO were loud until I wore a set of these in. The vehicle was also in perfect alignment.
I'd run a dueler revo or hell even a hankook dyna pro atm any day over these.
Even a Dunlop radial rover.

Wet weather traction was my biggest complaint with the Terra's I had as well. Very poor. (Mine were 295/65/20 basically 35s)

I guess I just would expect that out of the tire, they are on the aggressive side of all terrains. When I've driven them I have thought they were better in the rain than KOs, and no louder once the KOs are broke in. I certainly can't comment on the snow.
The revos are much better in those regards, almost Street tire like, but not comparable off road from what I've heard, never had them on anything but a dirt road.

I've had KOs, and they are solid until they hit a lick of mud. Then you might as well have drag slicks. Pack up so fast. They are way long in the tooth at this point. The ko2s certainly look interesting.
I know I sound like a fan boy, but I don't even love the terras. I just think they have proven themselves to be more than solid. The biggest downside is how many ugly trucks have them.

I guess it varies what you consider important .
I don't go mudding so I'd rather have something that performs well in the rain/snow and a little bit of gravel / dirt roads.
If I'm going mudding I'll find an MT tire.

Agreed. I'm admittedly a BFG guy, but the at km2s are the best all around when mud/at is in the picture. I've had two sets. Best mannered mud tires (although pricey) I've had.
The new KO2s will likely go on my new truck when the stickers piss me off.

What are these winter tire things you speak of?
