I am now entering my 5th winter with a '96 Ford Conversion van (on F 150 chassis). I have 90,000 miles on the vehicle.
Here's the problem -- the first two winters I had no traction problems whatsoever with the Goodyear tires that came from the factory. I replaced them in the 40,000 mile range with a new set of the same tires. But, the second set is horrible in snow or on any slippery surface. I've got to get a new set of tires, but don't know what to do.
Anyone out there with a similar vehicle, e.g. Ford pickup F150 or van, who has had good performance. Obviously, this is a rear wheel drive vehicle.
I went to vans years ago because I've found them to be great tow vehicles for my boat. And, they can't be beat for trips. However, I have tires on the beast now that won't let me travel if there's any snow or ice at all.
I really don't care about that.
Sad to say the best chance of a championship at the moment in this state is the Twolves.
Used to be such the fan, but the NBA lost me with the pick and roll.
But I'll watch come playoff time.
If KAT can't play worth a darn , the playoff run won't last long.
I thought I couldn’t dislike Glenn Taylor any more than I already did until today:
Glen Taylor with @ChadHartmanShow when asked if the reason for this happening is because the franchise might be worth double what he was selling it for:
"Partly so, yes. I have a responsibility to those who have been on this ride for the last 40 years."
Sellers remorse for sure but too bad for him the deal was inked 3 years ago. Hopefully the league has a way to arbitrate so it doesn’t go to court, but we will see.

I need advice. Input greatly appreciated.
