    Need new rubber on my 96 tacoma 4x4. Living in the Colorado Front Range so lot's of driving in snow. Currently running Bridgestone Dueller A/T's and they suck in snow, any suggestions??

    Thanks all.

    Are you on road only? Are you looking for an all terrain or strictly street tires?

    If the former I've had great luck with my current Goodyear Adventure all terrains (31x10.5r15)

    Very nice on pavement, rain and formidable on snow.

    Also very capable on moderate trails.

    About 75/25 highway/off road. Looking for something that handles good in snow packed/icy conditions for traveling during ski season.

    I used Kelly Safari's, Cooper STT's and Interco Truxus in some pretty snowy conditions going skiing in both NM and CO and had no issues whatsoever. My buddy has Duratrac's on his FJ and we went through some icy stuff through Breck and along I70 around the Eisenhower tunnel area and they stuck super well too. Just look at the siping on which ever tires you're considering. That's one of the primary characteristics that determine how good of a snow tire it will be.
