Yes, it's winter but I want to start thinking and shopping for new tires & wheels for my 2011 DCSB SR5 4WD. I plan on keeping the original steel wheels and tires (245/75/16s) for the snowy months.

I don't plan on any off-road adventures, will keep everything stock (no lifts, etc.), but looking for a wider and smaller profile tire that helps the truck with better handling on the highway. I had Cooper CS4s on my old 2WD Frontier and they were great on the highway, especially in the rain.

Make sense? Any recommendations?
