Recommend you get a set of smaller winter wheels, and dedicated winter tires. That is what I did. Your truck deserves them.

If you could just get this through to people, Im new to this forum but I have said the same thing 1 million times.
Why is it that the only part of your whole car that touches the ground is the part that nobody cares about, all the driver aids in the world can't do anything if the tire will not grip.
You would not wear runners skating so why should your car?
Smaller wheels and winter tires all the way and studded if you can, the sound of studs is way better than the sound of hitting a pole.
