    I have a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport with 17000+ miles and live in western NY. With this mileage on the truck my original equipment tires are useless in the snow or slush covered roads. Looking for an All Season Radial that is not real noisy but will provide the traction needed in the snow. Any suggestions other than moving to a warmer climate.

    I've been VERY happy with the General Grabber AT2s that are on my Cherokee. I have zero complaints about them in snow (what little we get) or rain and they are remarkably quiet given how aggressive they are.

    They are a heavy tire though and my mpg was negatively impacted though.

    I second this suggestion. Just put a set on and traction is greatly improved.

    Goodyear Duratrac! First winter here with them. Great in snow, great in rain, no louder than your stock tires.

    So when you would ask for a car which you will keep longer I would suggest the best all season tire is a summer tire for the summer and a winter tire for winter. Then you would get the best for all conditions. And because you don't wear out the tire which is not installed, you would have ideally both tires twice as long which comes to, that having two sets doesn't cost you more in the long run.
    But I am not sure if this also applies to an truck as well. Are you doing any offroading? When not than this would probably apply to you as well...

    2nd on the general grabber at2's; 245/75-16, same height as stock, I think about 5 lbs heavier than stock but about 4 lbs lighter than KO2's. (IIRC)

    I as well have been happy with the General Grabber ATX (265/75/r16 54lbs) on my 3rd gen. I had General Grabber AT2s on my 1stGen and was happy with them as well. Compared with the Firestone Destination AT's (265/70/r16 40lbs) my truck came with, i've added 56lbs of weight in tires. I'm not sure if i've taken a hit (probably have) in mpg as when I got the tires, fall/winter had set in, so gas changed and mpg takes a hit when its cold as well.

    All in all though, really happy with the way they tackled the 9 inches of snow we got a few weeks ago. They feel really solid and predictable in my OR. When I turn off TRAC/LSD in my 3rd gen AT, they perform the same as my 1st Gen MT in snow, and are hella fun but regain control right when you want them too. I don't find them to be loud for how aggressive they are either, keep them rotated and I never found cupping to be an issue, which causes a lot of road noise.

    I should note, the ATX is the replacement for the AT2's which have been retired. Not all sizes are available in the ATX at this time which is why I had to go a bit taller to a 75, but this gave me an automatic .5" lift.
