I bought a set for my new dually. Here is what I chose:
Nokian HAKKAPELIITTA LT3 which are true dedicated winter tires. They are factory studded. And they are using stainless steel outer casings which shouldn't look all rusty after the first winter.
Local conditions are average snow falls (rarely over 1ft) but a lot of icy conditions thorough the season. Those tires should be excellent. My first LT3 set as they are a new model but I've had several Nokians in the past. Always been great winter tires.
I had them installed on the OEM wheels as summer tires are on brand new wheels.
As you can see in the pictures, compared to the Nitto Ridge Grappler, the threads are actually smaller. Which is perfect for our local conditions (in contrast to studded Wranglers that would be better for heavy snow mountains regions and off-roading).
OEM size vs the 255/80/17 Nitto

Waiting for the snow!
